Wet Leg

Product Information

This idea of a sound coming out of nowhere is such a necessary rejuvenation, it seems for rock — over and over again. They have proven that they are much more than that but that song does contain the essence of what makes them so cherishable. Being in Love” suggests a permeable barrier between the feelings of total depression and infatuation, a risky romanticization that they sell on the strength of a big, dumb, knees-first mudslide of a chorus.

The 2004 British wave stopped wanting to make “music for girls to dance to” and got sophisticated (read: boring), and the space they left was quickly filled by lumpen “whoa-oh-oh” football terrace chanters. Some of the questions asked about the rapidly ascending Isle of Wight duo Wet Leg are easily answered. Cills: I have admittedly been skeptical of Wet Leg — not in the sense that I think they're an "industry plant," because those things don't really exist — but I do think Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers are very savvy and it's interesting that we're talking so much about the '80s, the era of the music video, because the pressures on artists to stand out in an overcrowded field and make a really strong visual and hook that can be looped on TikTok into a meme are more intense than ever. We may also use the information we collect via mailing lists to show you advertisements across social media platforms Facebook and Instagram which are relevant to your interests in Domino artists. And while Teasdale and Chambers would probably roll their eyes at anyone who takes their music too seriously, this week they respond with a full-fledged statement of their own in Wet Leg's self-titled debut, a collection of free-wheeling rock songs peppered with dry talk-singing and sex jokes, but also real moments of millennial existentialism.While none of these are new observations (they’re the bedrock of the emotional indie-rock that followed the old party-starting kind) Wet Leg approach them with sly nuance. There was just this image of these young men walking across the dusty, central California fields to change rock. Wet Leg is the sound of your brain shrinking, but it's also the sound of what happens to make your brain shrink. Domino engages in industry-standard advertising business practices that may be considered a sale, by allowing advertising networks we partner with (Google, Facebook, TikTok and Twitter) to place cookies on our Site, as detailed below in our Cookies Policy. Humorous songs, the wacky songs often made by women, are always suspected to be artifice or calculated.

Oh No" received a music video 1 February 2022, while "Too Late Now" was sent to adult alternative radio in the United States on 7 February 2022. Or Sally Rooney, whose young characters can't articulate their feelings in an emotionally vulnerable way, women who put up walls.Being in Love" is an indie pop, wonky pop, and bubblegum grunge-pop song with post-punk riffs, a synth-rock groove, and art pop influences. For a certain audience aware of rock history and how the genre has risen and fallen, it was impossible to turn away from those songs. The riff nods knowingly to Bowie’s “ The Man Who Sold the World,” a song he said he wrote about “how you feel when you’re young, when you know there’s a piece of yourself that you haven’t really put together yet. Maybe I'm demanding too much emotional intimacy from them, because they're clearly a very playful band.
