Wet Hair is a pleasant ambient drone outfit from Iowa City that’s quite different from frontman Shawn Reed’s noisier and more manic project Raccoo-oo-oon.  While relatively unassuming and relaxed, the duo creates some pretty interesting textures using tapes, synth, organ, drums, and vocals, each musical idea puttering along like homemade robots designed for simple and specific tasks.  Though they sometimes veer off into abstract and disharmonious territory, they’re never excessively dark or abrasive, and they are also capable of rocking out.
