LIST PICK
WET MARKET RED LANTERN
Consisting of seasoned musicians and some existing TMR favourites, 'Red Lantern' is the impactful debut from Wet Market. Out now via ESEA music (a community-led, non-profit founded by UK-based East and Southeast Asian music industry professionals and artists from all corners and sectors of the UK music industry), 'Red Lantern' starts off as an accomplished slow-burner, taking almost 3 minutes to shift into something altogether more intense. Made up of Matt Tong (ex-Bloc Party, Algiers), Jojo Khor (GHUM), Ed Riman (Hilang Child), and Helen Ganya, the collective's fusion of styles makes for an explosion of styles and cultures. Handled masterfully by this vibrant supergroup, hints of industrialism, psychedelia and alt-pop make for a truly immersive listen. Marking the beginning of an exciting new journey, 'Red Lantern' is a heady and cathartic outing from the newly-formed Wet Market. -Holly Mullineaux
