Buzzy Duo Wet Leg Reveal Two New Songs, Announce 2022 Debut Album

There's quite a bit of good news for Wet Leg fans, as the buzzy up-and-coming duo have revealed two new songs to go along with the announcement that their debut album, a self-titled set, is on its way April 8. Plus, the group has been filling up their concert calendar as well.

The duo of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers burst onto the scene earlier this year with the irreverent and infinitely catchy single "Chaise Longue," then followed it up with the Buffalo 66-referencing track "Wet Dream." Now comes two fresh tracks, with "Too Late Now" garnering most of the notice with a brand new video to accompany it. "Oh No" is the other new arrival, currently hitting the streaming services.

"Too Late Now" lets the low end bass take the lead in setting the base of the song, as the song unfurls. The Fred Rowson-directed video finds the duo and their bandmates as robe-clothed aliens amidst the city streets taking in their new surroundings and generally freaking out the city's denizens.

Teasdale says of "Too Late Now," "It is about sleepwalking into adulthood. I never imagined that my adult life would look the way it does and I guess this song reflects on some of the pressures and pulls of life. Sometimes I get really inside my head and everything can feel very overwhelming. I think this song is about accepting that life can feel a bit shit from time to time. Maybe don’t indulge that thought too much though. Just take some time for yourself. Take a breath. Have a bath. It might make you feel a bit better."

As for "Oh No," the glammy stomp is the band's take on the 3AM doom scroll. "You know when you're having dinner with someone, and they check their phone, and just… go?" says Teasdale. "It's an 80s sci-fi film distilled into two minutes and 29 seconds."

The two tracks are currently available via streaming platforms here and as physical options at this location.

As for their self-titled debut album, it's now on target for an April 8 release via Domino. The album was mostly recorded in London in April of this year, finishing up just before "Chaise Longue" started making the rounds. "I wanted to write fun songs, I didn't want to indulge sad feelings too much, I wanted to write stuff that's fun to listen to and fun to play,” reveals Teasdale. “But then, the sad seeps through, as well."

"Wet Leg is sad music for party people, and party music for sad people. It is cathartic and joyful and punk and scuzzy and above all, it's fun. Wet Leg was originally just supposed to be funny," she adds. "As a woman, there's so much put on you, in that your only value is how pretty or cool you look. But we want to be goofy and a little bit rude. We want to write songs that people can dance to. And we want to people to have a good time, even if that might not possible all of the time."

Look for Wet Leg getting more exposure in the U.S. in the coming months. They'll make their late night U.S. TV debut on Dec. 8 playing Late Night With Seth Meyers. The group also has shows with Chvrches to round out the year, while kicking off 2022 playing dates with IDLES as well as their own gigs. See all the stops below and get ticketing info here.
