The Anticipated Return of Wet Leg
The comeback of Wet Leg has certainly amplified excitement as the band unveils a snippet of what appears to be a new single.
In the 30-second teaser, which features a fresh track, the lyrics include: “Can you catch a ball of medicine / Can you catch yourself when you fall / you must be careful, you will catch my drift / because I really want to know that you can catch these fists?”
Social Media Activity and New Developments
Wet Leg made its first significant move of activity earlier this week. They posted on social media the message “We So Back,” alongside a link to their website and a photo featuring Rian and Hester accompanied by the rest of the band and a rather intriguing figure.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Wet Leg?
On their website, the message reads: “Greetings, a lonely heart. You wandered far, but now you are at home. Enter the moisturizer valley – where the skin never cracks, and the body never fades. Register now. Learn to live forever.”
Signing up will redirect you to a new page showcasing the scrolling text “This is the real world of Hunni.”
So, what detailed information do we have about Wet Leg’s next steps? While the current teasers leave much to the imagination without confirming a new album or release date (though “moisturizer valley” sounds promising), there have been clues suggesting that Wet Leg has been working on new material. At the end of 2022, during the Mercury Prize Awards, Rian hinted that the second Wet Leg album was already in motion. In a red carpet interview, she humorously mentioned that the next release would be “like the last, but longer, better, faster, stronger, and more fluorescent.” At that point, the duo noted they had started writing new songs, although they were “far from finished.” Hester added with a laugh that it would simply be “a little of this and a little of that.”
Since then, concrete details have been sparse, but it’s evident the band has been preparing behind the scenes. Wet Leg spent most of 2023 on the road, including notable supporting slots (for instance, opening for Harry Styles on tour) and festival appearances. 2025 is expected to be a significant year for the release of the next Wet Leg album, with the band confirming live dates in the near future. This latest teaser hints that we may be getting a first taste of new material very soon.
