Wet Leg Wet Leg
Wet Leg’s eagerly anticipated debut album has been released today on New Music Friday – revisit Live4ever’s review and stream the album below.
“In December 2021 a happening occurred in Naples; preserved as relics at the city’s cathedral, the blood of the third century former bishop St. Januarius provided the source material from which, after a period of intense prayer, the powered residue became liquid once again. The current Archbishop Domenico Battaglia promptly declared a miracle.”
“We shouldn’t expect as much from musicians, but sometimes the industry, looking for heroes where they’re in constantly short supply, will offer up some poor suckers anyway, often based on claims as dubious as those made on the Neapolitan Riviera.”
“Wet Leg – publicly duo Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers – also had quite a significant 2021, largely due to the slow burning triumph of their debut single Chaise Lounge, an irresistible contradiction-in-terms which spliced the garage rumble of early Strokes with a teasingly deadpan sex-positivity.”
