Wet Leg share new single “Wet Dream,” announce first U.S. shows
UK band Wet Leg's debut single, "Chaise Longue," was arguably the indie rock single of the summer — fun and cheeky and unexpected in every way, and it came with an equally great video to boot. If you've been waiting for more, Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers are back with Wet Leg's second single, "Wet Dream."
"What makes you think you're good enough to think about me when you're touching yourself," Rhian asks over a bouncing disco bassline, before the song explodes with guitars in the very catchy chorus. "Wet Dream" is not as coy as "Chaise Longue," which is just fine; it shows off a different side of the band, not to mention Rhian's singing voice, while packing in a considerable amount of hooks (and handclaps) in just two minutes. The video, which like "Chaise Longue" was directed by Teasdale, is another winner, too, adding in a surreal elements which may involve lobsters. Watch that below.
In other news, Wet Leg will cross the Atlantic December for their first U.S. shows, playing Brooklyn's Baby's All Right on 12/8, Los Angeles' The Moroccan Lounge on 12/14, and San Francisco's Rickshaw Stop on 12/15. Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday, October 1 at 10 AM. They're on tour in the UK right now and all dates are below.
