June saw the arrival of brand new Domino Records signing, Wet Leg, with their debut single “Chaise Longue”. Wet Leg hail from the Isle of Wight, a sparsely populated island off the south coast of England accessible only by boat; “Chaise Longue” is currently storming radio charts around the world, clocking up over 3,000,000 streams and over 1,000,000 video views. It's also won Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers fans in the likes of Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Iggy Pop, and Florence Welch.
Now, the enigmatic duo have unleashed their new single, “Wet Dream”, a two and half minute slice of exuberance as unforgettable and buoyant as “Chaise Longue”, cementing their reputation as one of the most thrilling new bands of the year. Teasdale explains the song’s origins: “Wet Dream is a breakup song; it came about when one of my ex’s went through a stage of texting me after we we’d broken up telling me that ‘he had a dream about me’.” The video, directed by Rhian Teasdale, is like something out of Věra Chytilová and Salvador Dali’s wildest dreams.
The duo has also announced their first run of US shows. Tickets are on-sale this Friday, October 1 at 10am local time. Tour dates below; tickets are available HERE.
