A fresh Wet Leg session for KEXP, recorded last month, has just been posted online and it is rather wonderful.
This led me to look up Wet Leg's KEXP debut in August 2022, captured live at the THING Festival at Fort Worden in Port Townsend, Washington.
I was planning to go into a whole spiel about Wet Leg's - and especially Rhian Teasdale's - transformation in a few short years.
And then I remembered that I'd done that exact thing as recently as July, when I compared and contrasted their Tiny Desk Concerts in 2021 and 2025.
Well, it's still remarkable, and so is their second album moisturizer, which tipped me from being interested but not invested, to a fully-fledged fan.
My son encouraged me to check out this session, as we are both fans of Era Vulgaris (a divisive album among QOTSA fans). He thought "CPR" captured the Era Vulgaris sound, and I have to agree!
ReplyDeleteAll the members of Wet Leg sound more confident and accomplished now as performers, though "Chaise Longue" is still a charmer!
You may already be aware of this, but House Of All (ex-Fall members) did a medley of "Ur Mum" and Can's "Uphill"!
