Wet Leg had people gushing with praise when they emerged in 2021, many hailing them as the saviours of indie music, as if it needed saving.
Whilst I haven't been gushy, mushy or pushy about wet Leg, it's hard to be cynical about the global plaudits when they - and their songs - are genuinely that good.
A good measure is a band's performance for NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series. Their second appearance, albeit their first physically at the titular Tiny Desk in Washington D.C., has just been posted and it's an absolute cracker of a set:

Wet Leg debuted for NPR with a Tiny Desk (Home) Concert in December 2021, a few months ahead of their selft-titled debut album's release. The four songs showcased then have now become certified classics.
What a difference a few years makes, eh?
Chaise Longue
Too Late Now
Oh No
Wet Dream
Wet Leg's second album, moisturizer, is officially released tomorrow (11th). I can't wait to hear it in full.
Oh, and to the orange baked clown in the white building, fuck you very much for the funding cuts.
