Apr 08, 2022 By Mark Redfern Photography by Hollie Fernando
British duo Wet Leg (Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers) have released their self-titled debut album today via Domino. Now that it’s out you can stream the whole thing here. Also, today we posted our new interview with the band on the album and yesterday we posted our rave review of Wet Leg. Stream the album below and read the interview here and the review here. Also below are their upcoming tour dates.
Wet Leg features the songs “Chaise Longue” (which was one of our Songs of the Week), “Wet Dream,” which topped our Songs of the Week list, “Oh No,” and “Too Late Now,” the latter of which also topped our Songs of the Week list. Then they shared a video for “Oh No.” That was followed by another single, “Angelica,” shared via another one of their amusing self-directed videos. “Angelica” also made our Songs of the Week list.
Then the duo did a Tiny Desk (Home) Concert for NPR, performed “Chaise Longue” on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and stopped by SiriusXMU to perform a cover of Madonna’s “Material Girl.” Then in March Wet Leg stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where they performed “Wet Dream” on the broadcast show and “Chaise Longue” as a web-exclusive.
Wet Leg released one last pre-release single, “Ur Mum,” via another amusing video.
“Chaise Longue” was #1 on our Top 130 Songs of 2021 list.
