We’re all now much more au fait than we ever expected to be with R numbers, contagions and exponential rises.
And we’re all now well used to finding work for idle minds to do; plenty of time during the past 18 months for some extra home cooking, gardening or DIY improvements.
Enter Wet Leg and their debut single Chaise Longue. What timing for one of the catchiest songs of the past few years.
Who knows the R number of this chorus, but be warned: it’ll be, ‘I’m a chaise longue, I’m a chaise longue, I’m a chaise longue/All day long, I’m a chaise longue’, on an uncontrollable loop whilst your chopping those carrots; ‘I’m a chaise longue, I’m a chaise longue, I’m a chaise longue/All day long, I’m a chaise longue’, on an uncontrollable loop whilst your mowing the lawn; ‘I’m a chaise longue, I’m a chaise longue, I’m a chaise longue/All day long, I’m a chaise longue’, on an uncontrollable loop whilst your knocking that cupboard together.
The duo of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers found their own minds wandering one day on a Ferris wheel in their native Isle Of Wight, when they there and then decided to form a band.
They have support tours of the UK with Declan McKenna and Willie J Healey coming up this year, as well as appearances at the Isle Of Wight and Latitude festivals.
Looking forward to what they do in the near future, what will their next tracks be like. I hope they make some money out of this very special little song. What a great piece of art, The vidio clip, the song, everything. A real Gem.
