Wet Leg Announces New Album
Wet Leg has announced the release of their second album, “Moisturizing Cream,” set to drop on July 11. They have also shared their new single, “Catch These Fists.”
Collaboration and Creative Process
White Island’s five members, comprising Rian Tisdale, Hester Chambers, Ellis Duran, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobaraki, collaborated with producer Dan Carey to record their new album. This marks the first occasion where all five members contributed to the songwriting process.
“We just had fun and explored,” Chambers comments on the writing sessions that took place in Savelda during March 2024. “We asked ourselves: ‘Will it be fun to play live?’ It felt very natural to write a second record together,” adds Tisdale.
The album’s lead single, “Catch These Fists,” is accompanied by an independent video filmed on White Island, drawing inspiration from directors like Ti West and Cameron Crowe, as well as Wet Leg’s own video style.
This twelve-track album features songs such as ‘CPR’, ‘Liquidize’, ‘Davina McCall’, ‘Body Jennifer’, ‘MANGETOUT’, ‘POND SONG’, ‘POKEMON’, ‘Pillow Talk’, ‘Do Not Speak’, ’11:21′, and “You and I are Home.”
