‘CPR’ sees the band share their second preview from the upcoming sophomore effort ‘Moisturizer’. The punchy new tune sees singer Rhian Teasdale’s cynical take on love, viewing it as a dangerous, life-threatening condition; “Is this love, or is this suicide?” she sings.

Backed by pulsating bass lines, Teasdale finds herself calling for medical attention over a climactic, euphoric build later in the song: “Hello, 999 / What’s your emergency? / Well, the thing is I / I’m in love.”

Wet Leg have also shared a self-directed, single-take music video, in which they’re cruising down a long, winding road, head-banging in a convertible. Check out the music video for ‘CPR’ below.

‘CPR’ will feature on Wet Leg’s highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Moisturizer’, led by the thunderous lead single ‘Catch These Fists’. The album is due out on July 11 on various formats including a limited edition 3D gatefold cream coloured vinyl with a signed photo, picture disc vinyl, standard vinyl, cassette, CD and digitally. You can pre-order/pre-save the record here.

The band first debuted new material from the record at a tiny gig in Brighton in March, performing seven tracks from the album. Other songs they debuted included ‘Jen Bod’, ‘Dave Nah’ and ‘Lovestruck’ – check out footage here.

They’re also due to perform at the O2 Academy in Leeds today (May 28), and the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester tomorrow (May 29). You can find any remaining tickets here.

Wet Leg’s self-titled debut received a glowing five-star review from NME‘s Rhian Daly, who wrote: “Wet Leg began life while Teasdale and Chambers were riding a Ferris wheel at a festival, where the pair decided to give music another chance; fittingly, their debut album feels like a giddy race around a funfair, those pesky lows batted away with wit and wisecracks like a game of verbal whack-a-mole.”

Elsewhere, Wet Leg are set to perform at a handful of festivals including Glastonbury, Green Man, Shaky Knees Festival, Roskilde Festival, Wilderness Festival, TRNSMT 2025, Boardmasters, All Together Now and Øya Festival.
