About

Wet Leg did not release their debut single, Chaise Longue, until June 2021, but its dry wit, winks at Mean Girls, and fast-paced indie-disco rhythm have turned it into a full-blown hit. They've already performed at Jools Holland and Seth Meyers, opened for a range of major artists from CHVRCHES to Idles, sold out on their 2022 tour with only two songs on the road (Wet Dream in September, another great tune), and now, with new single Too Late Now, an album on the horizon and having been ranked No. 2 on the BBC Sound of 2022 list, this year looks set to take them even farther. Here are the pop stars you've been waiting to discover for years.

their debut album Wet Leg, an instant classic that peels back the layers of the band to reveal the smart, dark side at its core. There's dancing, guitars, humor, sex, disillusionment, partying, breakups, a vague ode to being kicked out of a store for being “totally pickled,” and a spectacular insult thrown in the direction of an ex-boyfriend: “When I think about what you've become, I feel sorry for your mother.”

The duo collaborated with Dan Carey (Speedy Wunderground, Squid, Fontaines DC) to produce most of the record. “It was a beautiful, cozy studio with no glass separating us. We didn't have a lot of studio recording experience, but we felt comfortable at Dan's right away. We made friends with his little white fluffy dog, affectionately called Feta. In times of trouble, we would take five minutes to be with Feta-he was a light in the dark for us when all the other lights had gone out.”

Music is not the only window into Wet Leg's world. The logo and paintings for each single were designed by Hester herself, and the videos for Chaise Longue, Wet Dream and Oh No were also directed by the pair. Wet Leg's identity is evolving but distinct: “Like a surrealist prairie, but with lobster claws. It's very dreamy, but maybe a little sinister at times,” says Hester.

Ma per la copertina dell'album si sono mantenute semplici. “È una foto di me e Hester, appena scese dal palco. Io ho il braccio intorno alla sua vita e lei ha il braccio sulla mia spalla, e siamo leggermente ingobbite...” dice Rhian, prima che Hester finisca la frase: “Come se ci stessimo raccontando un segreto... o come se stessimo tramando silenziosamente il dominio del mondo”, scherza. L'immagine è una perfetta rappresentazione visiva della loro amicizia e di tutto ciò che è Wet Leg.
