WET LEG – Isle Of Wight Hipsters Have Their Sultry 2nd Album ‘MOISTURIZER’ Out
12 July 2025
New album artwork
Isle Of Wight (UK) pop sensation WET LEG – Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers –
attracted tons of attention with their prizewinning self-titled debut LP from 2022.
And when I read the laudatory critics I’m pretty sure their follow-up,
released yesterday and titled MOISTURIZER will be a striking success
too.
The Independent (English newspaper): “Far from being burned out, or being
bullied into selling out, by the sudden wave of global fame, they’ve doubled down
on their own weird energy. Moisturizer’s uncanny electricity is off the voltmeter.”
TUTV: The girls and band fabricated the album in an isolated, remote house
in the countryside, written in a creative frenzy, diving into themes of obsession
and all-consuming love. A record mostly inspired by Teasdale falling in love, in
her first queer relationship, in 2021. Again her lyrics are witty, sarcastic/cynical,
double-edged and at times quite absurd. There’s a lot of love and lust involved.
“I can make you sticky / Make you hot screaming for after sun.
I can make you beg / Can make you wet like an aquarium”
“Would you still love me if I was a worm?”
“You’re the rock to my roll / You’re the sand between my toes /
Sweet baby girl, we go like salsa and Doritos”.
Teasdale‘s new look. Dyed hair, dyed eyebrows, and sexy lingerie outfit fits
her sultry mindset. Sonically they sound somewhat heavier here and there,
but overall their effective formula – sticky, edgy, upbeat tunes – colours
also this 2nd effort.
Highlights: the 3 singles, Pond Song, Pillow Talk and U And Me At Home
Singles: Davina Maccall / CPR / Catch These Fists
