The word "kinetic" is defined by Merriam-Webster as "being active, lively, dynamic, and energizing." I hereby petition the dictionary board to replace that definition with a recording of Mister Wes' new single, "Water Breather."
It's a fire-starter. It's a mosh-starter. It'll give you enough momentum to sprint across the Washington Ave Bridge twenty times in three minutes and nineteen seconds. Mister Wes have always understood how to make songs that do this, but this is the best one yet. "water breather" bottles up the frenzied energy of a DIY house show perfectly - there's a "woah-oh" chorus designed for singing along, there's gang vocals that beg to be shouted by 30 people in a sweaty basement with no air conditioning, there's maximum time for thrashing.
Despite the how hard the song goes, tiny oddities find crevices out of which they can peer. Chipmunk vocals pop up for a few lines, then scurry away. I think there's a vibraphone part towards the end? If a "normal" Mister Wes song is a Doritos Locos Tacos from Taco Bell, then "Water Breather" is its Fiery upgrade.
Evan, Will, and Gunnar continue their streak of infinite bangers. Who knows if it'll end? So far, they've aced 2019 and are poised to keep it up. Listen to "Water Breather" below.
