In July, Wet Leg released their second album ‘Moisturizer’, their first as a quintet after touring members Henry Holmes, Josh Mobaraki and Ellis Durand joined co-founders Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers as official members of the band.

It arrived to critical acclaim, NME giving it a four-star review and writing: “After the whirlwind of their debut album, the Isle Of Wight band could have capitulated to the pressure. Instead, they return smarter, sexier and altogether stronger.”

The album saw them hit the top of the UK Albums Charts – beating Oasis and giving them their second Number One album.

On Friday (October 24) the band covered Empire Of The Sun’s 2008 single ‘Walking On A Dream’ in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, putting a guitar-heavy spin on the electropop track.

Wet Leg’s cover came just weeks after Robbie Williams covered their 2021 single ‘Chaise Longue’ during a Live Lounge performance of his own, changing some of the lyrics to nod to his career, including changing the line in the song’s first verse, “I went to school and I got a degree,” to “I joined Take That and got a pop star degree.”

Also earlier this month, Wet Leg shared a self-directed video for their single ‘mangetout’. In the video, vocalist Teasdale features in a huge blonde-and-black wig that obscures her face. Halfway through the video, things take a graphic twist as Teasdale pulls off the wig to show that her face and body are covered in blood.
