***With Get Wet!, the second album from San Francisco quintet SUGAR & GOLD, the band has turned in a complex and cerebral pop record that represents a huge step forward from their disco-tinged debut. Get Wet!’s expanded palette includes elements of electro, ‘80s R&B, new wave psychedelia, and German minimalism, woven together in a framework of transcendent modern pop. If debut album Crème was the ultimate hookup record, Get Wet! represents the work that goes into keeping the relationship fresh and vital. Make no mistake, Sugar & Gold are still bringing the grooves and party vibe the way no others can, but if you look closely, you might spot a tear or two on the dance floor this time around.
