Wet Leg – “Moisturizer”

The cover of “Moisturizer”, the new album of the Post Punk band says a lot: a Freak party in which Chambers and Teasdale shows off long macabre and teasdale claws, which wears long kitsch socks and has no eyebrow, smiles diabolically to the camera. The artwork perfectly reflects the album: “Moisturizer” is the band that raises the volume and gives us a record that is undoubtedly more daring, powerful and brazen. If success creates a crossroads for any new band – “becoming pop” or continuing to follow their way – the wet legs have decisively chosen the second path as also demonstrates the decision to work again with Dan Carey as producer, a genius already at work with bands such as the Fontaines DC.In March 2024 The training moved to Southwold to write: living, working all day and watching all day. Nights, they soon found a new creative symbiosis and consequently all members of the Wet Legs are authors of the songs of “Moisturizer”.
