Wet Leg has returned to the music scene with a highly anticipated sophomore album titled Moisturizer, set to be released on July 11th under Domino Records. This announcement follows the triumphant success of their debut self-titled album in 2022, which garnered critical acclaim and several prestigious accolades, including three Grammy Awards. Known for their quirky and infectious musical style, Wet Leg is led by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, alongside band members Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobaraki. Together, they crafted a body of work that looks to capture the same evocative spirit that turned their initial offerings into a global sensation.

The lead single from the upcoming album, “Catch These Fists,” was introduced with a self-directed music video that captures the whimsical essence of the band's artistry. Set in their native Isle of Wight, the video combines playful choreography with scenic imagery, drawing inspiration from filmmakers like Ti West and Cameron Crowe. It emulates the distinct visual style they had previously established with their earlier hit “Wet Dream”. The song itself embodies a punchy, defiant energy that combines catchy lyrics with a lively beat, which Teasdale and Chambers have crafted with a keen focus on their live performance capabilities.

A key highlight of Wet Leg's new album promotion was their recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. This performance was not only a significant platform for their latest single, “Catch These Fists,” but also a milestone that reached a broad audience, adding another layer of excitement to their album release. The band's appearance on such a prestigious stage underscores their rising prominence in the music industry. Their performance on Fallon boosts visibility and adds to the anticipation surrounding Moisturizer.

Teasdale and Chambers emphasize the collaborative effort that defines Moisturizer, with all five members of Wet Leg contributing to the writing and creative process. The band drew inspiration from their everyday experiences and the ambience of Southwold, a remote seaside town in Norfolk, where they worked together. This rural setting allowed them to focus on creativity during the day, while evenings were often spent absorbing horror films, an exercise that expanded their narrative and artistic scope. This creative freedom enabled Wet Leg to explore various themes, ranging from love to existential musings, with Teasdale herself highlighting the influence of her personal journey of falling in love in 2021 on the new material.

The track list of *Moisturizer* itself is a testament to the band's eclectic creative range. Songs such as “CPR,” “Jennifer’s Body,” and “U and Me at Home” suggest a diverse exploration of musical styles and thematic content. The album is designed to resonate with audiences through its blend of catchy melodies and relatable storytelling. It represents a significant evolution from their debut, showcasing the band’s growth and their desire to maintain the freshness that initially captivated fans.
