For emotive electro-pop three-piece Wet, this year is all about new horizons. The Brooklyn-based band, comprising songwriter-vocalist Kelly Zutrau (a Boston native) and multi-instrumentalists Joe Valle and Marty Sulkow, is already acclaimed for mixing intimate lyrics with atmospheric production to craft laid-bare lost-love laments, a skill it has demonstrated across one self-titled EP and successive slate of heartache-heavy singles (“When you hold me, I still feel lonely,” Zutrau sighs on breakout track “You’re the Best”).  Now, with Wet’s full-length debut, “Don’t You,” dropping Friday and the three-piece embarking on its first headlining tour across North America, Zutrau says one particularly exciting part of the months ahead will be showcasing an evolution in Wet’s sound.  “The album’s more lush and much more complex than the EP,” she explains. “It’s not confined to romantic relationships — it has bigger ideas and explores other kinds of relationships, including as metaphor.”  In addition to introducing new material, the trio is also excited to play at some favorite venues — and whet its collective appetite (sorry) at nearby restaurants for the all-important post-performance meal.  Anticipating Wet’s sold-out show at the Sinclair on Monday, we asked about five stages (and savory stop-overs) the trio is looking forward to.  Venues: The Mohawk, Empire Auto  On Tamale House East: “In Texas, the Mexican food people usually rave about is Tex-Mex, but we found that the Tamale House is pretty authentic,” Sulkow says.  On the Sinclair: “One of our favorite shows from the last tour was at the Sinclair,” Valle reports. “The sound in the venue is incredible, the staff was super professional and helpful, and the crowd was probably the most enthusiastic crowd we’ve ever played to, so we’re really excited to come back on Monday.”  Venues: Baby’s All Right, Music Hall of Williamsburg  On Baby’s All Right and Music Hall of Williamsburg: “We played on the opening night at Baby’s All Right in 2013,” says Valle. “It’s a great venue and has been instrumental in supporting new and emerging artists in New York City, like us, Empress Of, Porches, et cetera, so we love playing there. Music Hall of Williamsburg is another venue we’ve played several times, and is one of our favorite venues around the country. We’ve had some seminal shows there in the past few years so it has come to be a special place for us.”  Restaurants: Taco Zone, Cafe Gratitude  On Taco Zone: “A lot of times there aren’t many good food options once you finish loading out your gear after a show, so it’s always great to be in a city with food trucks,” Valle says. “We have a long list of taco trucks in LA, and Taco Zone is probably Number 1.”  On The Fillmore: “That was probably one of the most supportive audiences we’ve ever played for,” Zutrau recalls. “I lost my voice onstage halfway through, and they were still on my side, it was really incredible.”  Wet performs at the Sinclair, Cambridge, Monday.

Headed to the Sinclair for a sold-out show, the members of electro-pop trio Wet reflect on favorite venues for playing — and for post-concert noshing.
