After declaring that they were “so back” last month, Wet Leg have today announced their sophomore album: moisturizer will land July 11 via Domino. The follow-up to the UK band’s 2022 self-titled debut is led by an invigorating dance-punk tune called ‘catch these fists’. The group – founding members Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, bassist Ellis Durand, drummer Henry Holmes, and guitarist/synth player Joshua Mobaraki – shot the track’s music video in their native Isle of Wight. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
The band reunited with producer Dan Carey to work on the new LP. They decamped to Southwold to write the album in March 2024, working by day and watching horror movies at night. “We were just kind of having fun and exploring,” Chambers reflected. Teasdale added: “We focussed on: Is this going to be fun to play live? It was very natural that we would write the second record together.”
