Wet Leg – Wet Leg

After releasing two of the hottest singles of the year, Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers were catapulted from their confines on the Isle of Wight to sold out venues across the UK and packed-out tents at festivals causing giddy excitement wherever they went. Now, the duo is thrilled to unveil news of their debut album. The album is called Wet Leg. Wet Leg received widespread acclaim from music critics upon its release. On Metacritic, the album has an average score of 87 out of 100 based on 27 reviews, indicating “universal acclaim”. Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Heather Phares claimed that “It’s rare that a band is so fully formed at the start of their career, but on their self-titled debut album, Wet Leg deliver more of those immediately memorable hooks and relatable, witty retorts.” Clash writer Robin Murray called it “the most infectious, alluring, irresistible, and downright fun debut record that’s come our way in a long, long time”. In a five-star review for DIY, Lisa Wright praised the band’s unique personality, saying “it’s the slightly wonky worldview of the band themselves that really elevates Wet Leg into the realms of the truly special. Don’t be fooled by the prairie dresses and sweetly innocent vocal delivery, Rhian has bite and gleefully revels in a rude one liner.”
