One of the hottest upcoming bands in the UK, Wet Leg, have released 2 new songs and news of their debut album.
Isle of Wight talent Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers have been catapulted from their confines on the Island to sold-out venues across the UK and packed-out tents at festivals causing giddy excitement wherever they went.
The new tracks are called ‘Too Late Now’ and ‘Oh No’, the first being announced as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record In The World.

Teasdale explains what inspired ‘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 sh*t 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.”
Forthcoming debut album ‘Wet Leg’, which will be released on 8th April 2022, was recorded and produced in the main by Speedy Wunderground’s Dan Carey. The album was mostly recorded in London in April 2021, meaning they had a finished album before the world had even heard debut single ‘Chaise Longue’ or played live.
Collectively, Wet Leg’s previous singles ‘Chaise Longue‘ and ‘Wet Dream‘ have racked up over 8.5 million streams and over 3 million views on YouTube, scored 2 BBC 6 Music A-Lists, seen them appear on Later… with Jools Holland and get crowned one of Vevo DSCVR Artists To Watch 2022 and Amazon Artists To Watch 2022.
‘Wet Leg’ is available to pre-order on exclusive clear vinyl (with a 7” of 2 non-album tracks) via the band’s webstore, standard vinyl, cassette, CD and digitally. A variety of merch (T-shirt, print) is available as a pre-order bundle too.

I like the dark haired one.
The George Michael of the duo, how long before a solo career?
Very interesting videos, and lyrics. Have heard other tracks and impressed thus far.
