After storming the charts and winning over fans across the world with their explosive 2022 debut, Wet Leg are back. The Isle of Wight five-piece have just announced their second album moisturizer, due for release later this year, and it’s already sounding like a wild ride.
Alongside the album reveal comes lead single ‘Catch These Fists’ — a crunchy, full-throttle anthem packed with bruising guitar riffs, pounding rhythms, and the band’s trademark tongue-in-cheek swagger. It’s the perfect first taste of a record that promises to be louder, fiercer, and more emotionally unfiltered than anything they’ve released before.
Written in isolation in a remote countryside house, moisturizer sees the band dig deep into the chaos of love, lust and obsession. It’s messy, moody, and completely magnetic — a natural evolution of their sound that captures how far they’ve come since their first release.
Bringing the chaos, but sharper than ever
Formed by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, Wet Leg made headlines with their sharp humour and riotous energy, both on stage and on record. Their self-titled debut brought them Grammy Awards, BRIT nominations, and sold-out tours across the globe. But if Wet Leg was the introduction, moisturizer is the main event.
Now joined by Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobaraki, the band have grown into an electrifying live unit, and that raw energy has made its way straight onto the new record. It’s rougher around the edges, more urgent in tone, but still grounded in the witty lyricism and unexpected turns that made them stand out from the start.
‘Catch These Fists’ is a statement of intent. With its distorted layers and defiant message, it delivers a knockout punch to anyone expecting the band to settle down or play it safe. There’s no fear of getting messy here — just full immersion into everything love and heartbreak can bring.
Wet Leg might have started out as an unexpected indie breakout, but they’ve quickly become one of the UK’s most exciting and unpredictable acts. moisturizer doesn’t just build on that reputation — it redefines it.
Whether you’ve been there since ‘Chaise Longue’ or you’re just jumping in now, this next chapter is set to be their boldest yet.
