If this isn’t the catchiest song since, I dunno “Crazy” or “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” then I don’t know what would be. All I know is that I wish this song was 24 hours long and had 2000 verses. This has got to be the greatest debut single in years. I can’t decide what I like the most…. the hilarious filthy lyrics, the cold detached vocal style, the great bass line, the “excuse me – what” hook, the guitar freak-out… I love everything about this song. If the rest of the material is anywhere near as good as this then they’re going to be massive.
Already feeling a strong “Song of the Summer” vibe about this one. My summer anyway!
So far Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers have only released one song, via the Domino label, and this is it. There’s little information about them, other than what appears on the Domino Recording’s
Amidst a night of hazy scenes in their native Isle of Wight, Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers found themselves at the summit of a Ferris wheel.
They decided to start a band. The band is called Wet Leg. Arming themselves with guitars, a penchant for French disco, effervescent imaginations and a shared love of the The Ronettes and Jane Birkin, through to Ty Segall and Bjork, they set about making some recordings of their own.
Is that a Faust sample loaded into their drum machine? Wet Leg will be performing next weekend at the Latitude Festival in Suffolk, England.
