WET LEG
MOISTURIZER
DOMINO ★★★★☆
Brilliant as Wet Leg’s 2022 singles Chaise Longue and Wet Dream were, their self-titled debut album couldn’t quite live up to it. Three Grammys and two BRITs followed in its wake, yet overall it felt too rushed to capitalise on that early promise.
By last year’s festival appearances, with no sign of new music, the joke was starting to wear thin for both fans and crowd, competing to see who could look more bored. Fears that they were going to be two-hit wonders started to be dispelled when first single Catch These Fists finally emerged. With Dan Carey again producing, it was just as infectious as their signature tunes, but rawer and punkier, living up to its taunting “Man down!” chorus.
