100%WET blur timelines and genres on final single ‘Looking In from the Outside’

Copenhagen-based collective 100%WET have released their final single ‘Looking In from the Outside’ ahead of their debut self-titled album, out now. Fusing shoegaze textures with 90s-inspired breakbeats and vaporwave nostalgia, the track exemplifies the band’s self-coined genres: drum’n’gaze and hypergaze.

Featuring vocals from Frederik Fog Bruun of Dutch-Danish duo Miaw, ‘Looking In from the Outside’ captures the feeling of being both immersed in and detached from experience, like watching life unfold through a dreamlike lens. Warped guitar drones and skittering percussion build a soundscape that’s equal parts haze and rhythm, introspection and movement.

It’s a fitting closer to the album rollout, offering one last glimpse into 100%WET’s genre-melding vision: shoegaze reimagined for dancefloors, memory loops, and altered states.
