Wet Leg - Wet Leg

 

British indie duo debut their self-titled album

"Wet Leg have certainly got people listening, and by channelling their sense of humour and showmanship into a series of tracks that are far more nuanced and three-dimensional than the infuriatingly repetitive song that made their name, they've ensured their debut album is well worth hearing - again and again and again." — The Guardian

Wet Leg is the year's breakout indie rock band — their debut album is full of loopy, addictive songs that are as fun to talk about as the album is to listen to and think about, says NPR. Wet Leg's front duo of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers seemed to emerge fully-formed last summer with their sexy and silly single "Chaise Longue." And just as Pavement nodded without nodding at Jonathan Richman and the Velvet Underground, Wet Leg bears sonic echoes of New Wave and '00s indie rock, and aesthetic and thematic similarities to contemporary television shows and fiction.

And while Teasdale and Chambers would probably roll their eyes at anyone who takes their music too seriously, they've responded with a full-fledged statement of their own in Wet Leg's self-titled debut, a collection of free-wheeling rock songs peppered with dry talk-singing and sex jokes, but also real moments of millennial existentialism.
