After all these years, the brothers Dewaele, my compatriots and fellow citizens (Ghent, Belgium), better known as the remix machine SOULWAX, haven’t played a DJ set in just one place… on the moon (well, that’s what they told me.) And the number of songs/artists that got their bleep-bleep treatment are countless.
Next one: Britpop heroines of the year, WET LEG. The song the bros had their
hands on is the closer of the girl’s LP’s closing track, titled TOO LATE NOW.
Here’s the dizzying result.
Better not dance to it on
your kitchen table…
Band: WET LEG Who: Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers
from England’s Isle Of Wight.
Rhian Teasdale: “Wet Leg is sad music for party people, and party music
for sad people. It is cathartic and joyful and punk and scuzzy and above all,
it’s fun. Wet Leg was originally just supposed to be funny. As a woman, there’s
so much put on you, in that your only value is how pretty or cool you look. But
we want to be goofy and a little bit rude. We want to write songs that people
can dance to. And we want to people to have a good time, even if that might
not possible all of the time.”
New album: WET LEG – self-titled debut LP Out: 8 April 2022 – order info here
Turn Up The Volume: I just can’t resist their amplified twist and turn
pop liveliness, their hilarious deadpan stories, and their drop-dead-cool
attitude.

New tracks: TOO LATE NOW and OH NO
Two new pieces from their self-titled upcoming debut LP, out 8 April 2022
One of the blindsiding sensations of 2021. Wet Leg took our pandemic world
by storm last summer with their gee-whiz debut single Chaise Longue (more
than 1 million views on YouTube!), followed it up with touching yourself earworm Wet Dream.
They just shared two other new firecrackers to confirm that they are for real and
are here to stay, whether you like it or not. TOO LATE NOW and OH NO show again
why the two bizarro ladies are IT.
You just can’t resist their amplified twist and turn pop avidity,
their hilarious deadpan stories, and their drop-dead-cool presence.
