Wet Leg, the acclaimed band known for their distinctive sound, has announced the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album titled Moisturizer. The collection is scheduled to be released on July 11 through Domino Records. Founding members Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers front the quartet with jubilance. They are accompanied by bassist Ellis Durand, drummer Henry Holmes, and guitarist and synthesizer player Joshua Mobaraki.
No roughhousing here — the band’s also released an intense video for their rager “Catch These Fists,” which they shot and directed themselves. The video was shot on the gorgeous Isle of Wight. It conveys the beauty of their location while effectively shining a light on the band’s artistic ambitions. Famed filmmakers such as Ti West and Cameron Crowe set the tone for the unique visual aesthetic. It serves as an in-joke reference to Wet Leg’s own history, including their award-winning video for “Wet Dream.”
Wet Leg have shared their wonderful new single plus its hilarious new video. As part of the announcement, they shared the cover art and tracklist to their debut project, Moisturizer. The second record, written together by all four of the band members, showcases their artistic evolution since their first album.
“It was very natural that we would write the second record together,” stated Rhian Teasdale. This notion further exemplifies the band’s loyalty to their artistic growth and development of a more complex compositional style.
Fans have waited long enough for Moisturizer, but the new album should continue the momentum built from Wet Leg’s breakout singles and their self-titled debut. Meaningful lyrics are wrapped in infectious melodies. This potent mix is a classic recipe that’s bound to appeal to fresh ears and long-time lovers of the music equally.
Wet Leg is doing something totally unexpected – pushing genre boundaries and breaking new musical ground. The release of “Moisturizer” is a turning point in their burgeoning career. The buzz surrounding their new adventure is contagious. Now, they’re excited to take their new sonic direction to stages across the world.
