"100%WET Unveils New Single 'Over Me'"
Exciting news in the music scene: 100%WET has unveiled their highly anticipated new single “Over Me,” along with its debut music video, released through Crunchy Frog Recordings. This marks the band’s first release of 2025 and showcases their innovative sonic style, merging elements of drum and bass, hyperpop, and shoegaze into what they’ve dubbed “hypergaze.”
“Over Me” builds upon the unique sound established in their previous hit “Ether,” featuring the ethereal vocals of Amalie Hannibal Petri, known as Polly. Her dreamy delivery pairs perfectly with the rich textures of the music, creating a soundscape characterized by energetic beats and lush, shoegaze-inspired guitars. The track captures the emotional complexities of heartbreak, exploring themes of longing and self-reflection in a transformative arrangement. The stirring lyrics present an introspective question: “Are you over me?”—anchoring the listener in the psychological turmoil following a breakup.
This release continues to define the hypergaze sound that 100%WET and their collaborator Tettix Hexer have come to embrace. The duo, Casper Munns and Jakob Birch, aim to blend their passion for rock with the pulsating rhythms of electronic music, stretching the boundaries of the genres they love. They explain that this song was born from a desire to create a fresh blend of shoegaze and drum and bass—ultimately leading to experiments with tempo and structure that echo their musical roots while exploring new territories.
Accompanying “Over Me” is a visually arresting music video directed by Ada Grüter, which complements the song’s introspective journey by depicting a character on a surreal quest for creativity. The video features a dreamlike narrative populated by whimsical landscapes, creating an immersive experience reflective of the song’s themes. The protagonist embarks on an imaginative adventure, chasing a “shining star,” symbolizing the pursuit of artistic inspiration and personal fulfillment.
The lush visuals incorporate a rich tapestry of styles, including found footage and 3D graphics, while the use of light adds an ethereal quality to the storytelling. The playful aesthetic, influenced by retro gaming consoles, brings an added layer of vibrancy that resonates with the band’s unique approach to music-making.
With “Over Me,” 100%WET not only continues to pioneer their genre but also delivers a deeply emotional experience that connects with audiences on multiple levels. The dynamic interplay of sound and visuals captures the chaos and catharsis of human emotion, proving that their artistic vision is as expansive as it is profound.
Be sure to check out “Over Me” and its captivating music video, available now across various platforms. Plus, fans can look forward to 100%WET’s return to the UK in spring 2025, where they will undoubtedly continue to make waves in the music industry.
