Isle of Wight band Wet Leg have revealed the third song from their much anticipated second album ‘moisturizer’ – due 11th July.
Entitled ‘davina mccall’, it’s a soft, lovelorn ballad that takes a cheeky premise – Big Brother and Shakira – and coats it in a sense of earnestness that’s new for Wet Leg; it’s a song about pure, unadulterated devotion.
The video for davina mccall is a charming stop-motion animation where we meet the band as clay figures cruising along in search of a feather-stealing goblin, whilst calling back to the ‘CPR’ video and the band’s recent family portrait.
davina mccall is also a great showcase of the band’s new way of collaborating: Hester Chambers began the song and teased it out with Ellis Durand; Rhian Teasdale wrote the lyrics and melody, a process that felt a little like solving a mystery.

Wet Leg are set to take to the Glastonbury Festival stage tomorrow (Friday 27th June).
Great set at Glastonbury!
