Wet Leg formed in 2019, releasing their first ever song ‘Chaise Longue’ in June 2021, gaining popularity quickly, reaching the UK and US Charts, helping launch the band into the public eye. They released their debut self-titled album ‘Wet Leg’ in April 2022 with popular songs including ‘Wet Dream’, ‘Too Late Now’, ‘Being In Love’, ‘Supermarket’, and ‘Angelica’.

This debut album reached the number one spot on the UK Album Charts, as well as the UK Independent Charts. They later won Best Alternative Music Album for the self-titled album and Best Alternative Music Performance for ‘Chaise Longue’ at the 65th Grammy Awards. 

Wet Leg is currently on tour and has performed in London, Edinburgh, Leeds, and Manchester over the past few weeks. They will be performing this upcoming Friday, June 27 at the famous UK music festival, Glastonbury on the Other Stage. The band will also make an appearance performing at Boardmasters Festival in Newquay, Cornwall, in August before heading over to North America in September with shows in Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia, New York, and Los Angeles.

The band, formed in 2019 by Isle of Wight duo Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, debuted their self titled album ‘Wet Leg’ in 2022, earning them multiple Grammy and Brit awards as well as the album reaching number one in the UK Album charts and getting shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize. After this anticipatory 3 year break, the band hinted last month at a comeback with this instagram post.

Along with the announcement of the tour, the indie rock band have released a new dance-punk track ‘catch these fist’ with an accompanying music video posted to their Youtube channel.

The music video, filmed on home terf in the Isle of Wight, is playful yet foreboding with cool, deadpan shots of the duo. The band dresses in all white with striking shots of them on a patch of grass chugging large amounts of milk, throwing and catching a beach ball, and acting out a kidnapping scene. The retro feel of the video seems integral to the band’s image with their website stylised in Windows 95. However, in the music video of their popular hit track ‘Ur Mum’, the band are much more colourful and soft with the artists filmed in a retro 70s scene.

Perhaps this is an indication that their new music will have an aesthetic more connoting to Y2K. This change is also given through hints in the dates leading up to this announcement with the band’s recent Instagram posts edited in a glitchy, 2000s aesthetic.

Fans have also spotted the band on March 25 at their impromptu secret gig which was recognised to have been held at MOTH club in London. They managed to keep the mystery by announcing the performance an hour before it commenced and subsequently deleting the post. The band also performed under the pseudonym ‘Uma Thurman’.

At this intimate show, fans shared many recordings of their hits, such as their most popular ‘Chaise Longue’. The artists also teased other unreleased tracks which left fans excited for more, with one follower captioning their post, ‘did someone say wet leg summer…?’

With the release of ‘moisturize’, Teasdale explains in an interview with The Rolling Stones that the album is a punk dedication to her queerness, providing a new take on love songs. The artist states “I thought I was straight all of my life until I met my current partner — these love songs are about them,”.

After an eager wait, the band’s return with this fresh new sound and look will be welcomed with excitement and interest.
