Wet Leg announce second album, new single and UK tour dates
Indie rock band Wet Leg announced they will release their second album, called ‘moisturizer’, in July.
Wet Leg haveannounced their second album 'moisturizer’.
The two-time Grammy-winning indie rock band announced on Tuesday (01.04.25) that they will release a highly anticipated second album on July 11, titled ‘moisturizer’, their first new music in three years.
The album announcement comes alongside the drop of its first single, ‘catch these fists’, a frenetic dance-punk song about interacting with a belligerent man. The accompanying music video was filmed on the Isle of Wight, where the band hails from.
The five-piece was founded in 2019 by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, and also features bassist Ellis Durand, drummer Henry Holes, and guitarist Joshua Mobaraki.
‘Moisturizer’ contains bolder strides for the band. The 12-track album includes a handful of love songs, which Teasdale described as empowering to write.
Of the new album, Chambers said in a press release: “We were just kind of having fun and exploring.”
Teasdale added: “We focused on: Is this going to be fun to play live? It was very natural that we would write the second record together.”
