Wet Leg Announces Exciting New Album “Moisturizer”
Wet Leg, the acclaimed British indie rock duo hailing from the Isle of Wight, has made waves with the announcement of their highly anticipated second album, titled Moisturizer. The album is set for release on July 11, 2023. This news was officially shared on Tuesday, generating excitement among fans and critics alike.
Fronted by the dynamic pair Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, Wet Leg is signed under the reputable Domino Records. To complement the album announcement, the band also released the album’s lead single, “Catch These Fists,” along with a captivating music video.
Reflecting on Triumphs and New Directions
Moisturizer marks the follow-up to their self-titled debut album, Wet Leg, which debuted in 2022. The initial album received critical acclaim, particularly for its hit single “Chaise Longue,” which propelled Wet Leg into the spotlight. Their achievements were recognized at the 2023 Grammy Awards, where they clinched two wins for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Alternative Music Performance, and earned a nomination for Best New Artist.
A Glimpse into the New Album
In their announcement, the band hinted that the new album consists of “love songs of every stripe: stressed-out, gooey-eyed, gratuitously horny, blissed out, obsessive and mysterious.” Chambers shared insights into the creative process, stating, “We were just kind of having fun and exploring.” Teasdale echoed this sentiment, emphasizing their focus on the album’s live performance potential: “Is this going to be fun to play live? It felt very natural for us to write the second record together.”
Upcoming Tour Dates
With the album announcement, Wet Leg is gearing up for an extensive tour. They will take Moisturizer on the road, presenting concerts and festival appearances across Europe this summer. Pre-sale tickets for their UK shows will be available on April 9, with general sales starting on April 11.
