"100%WET Unveils New Single 'Eleanor's Escape'"

Copenhagen-based band 100%WET has just released their latest single, “Eleanor’s Escape,” under Crunchy Frog Recordings. This track marks their first original release of 2026 and showcases the evolution of their signature sound, which they describe as “hypergaze.” The new single embodies a blend of dreamy electronic elements with more intense, heavier sounds, representing a unique fusion of influences.

The origins of “Eleanor’s Escape” are as intricate as the music itself. The title draws from two distinct halves: while Sanna and Casper crafted a dreamy, four-to-the-floor beat in the scenic Lake District, Jakob and Annie drew inspiration from their experiences in Cornwall and Bristol, culminating in a track that had resonated with audiences during the band’s early live performances. This contrast reflects the band’s collaborative spirit and dedication to pushing their creative boundaries.

In addition to the release of “Eleanor’s Escape,” 100%WET has exciting live performances lined up. They will take the stage at the prestigious SPOT Festival in Aarhus on May 1st and the Roskilde Festival on June 29th. Fans in the UK can anticipate their first-ever performance in London scheduled for June 9th at The Social, with further details coming soon.

The single comes after a notable return for the band, who had to pause their work due to health issues. Their comeback was marked by a powerful cover of Grimes’ “Delete Forever,” signaling their resilience and continued commitment to their music. “Eleanor’s Escape” continues this trajectory, offering a broader emotional landscape in its sound, moving away from themes of heartbreak towards something more expansive and cinematic.

100%WET consists of producer and guitarist Jakob Birch and producer, guitarist, and vocalist Casper Munns. Both members have made significant contributions to the music scene, with Casper being noted for his work in Himmelrum, his solo project Drop, and the drum and bass group Splitscreen. Jakob has also released experimental work under the Janushoved label and has been involved in other projects.

Their debut self-titled album received acclaim from notable outlets including The Line of Best Fit, KEXP, and Louder Than War, establishing the band as a noteworthy presence in the alt-pop landscape. Their unique sound continues to garner positive feedback, attracting fans who appreciate their genre-blurring music.

As they forge ahead with their latest single, 100%WET remains a band to watch in 2026. With their commitment to innovation and artistry, they are undeniably on a powerful upward trajectory. Don’t miss the chance to listen to “Eleanor’s Escape,” now available across all streaming platforms. Stay tuned for updates on their live shows and upcoming releases, as this is just the beginning for 100%WET.
