This is one of those songs -- see "Like I Used To" by Sharon Van Etten & Angel Olsen -- where the tune is so perfect that I almost want them to never release anything again. It's a hard trick to wrap horny silliness in a charming confectioner's glaze, but Wet Leg have nailed it.
I posted the video for the Chaise Longue single in the best song you've heard today thread a while back after it started getting play on BBC6Music. I'd say this new tune is even better. Love it. They're doing a wee club gig up my way at the end of this month but I won't manage it. Hopefully a full tour will follow at the beginning of next year.
yep, this song has been stuck in my head for about a month. i walk around the house saying to no one in particular, "is your muffin buttered? would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?"
A UK tour has been announced for next year. Edinburgh here I come. April 16 Newcastle, St. Domes 17 Edinburgh, The Mash House 19 Leeds, Brudenell Social Club 20 Manchester, Gorilla 21 Bristol, Trinity Center 23 Birmingham, O2 Institute 24 Norwich, Arts Center 26 London, Scala 27 Portsmouth, Wedgwood Rooms
They were on Jools Holland yesterday: …unfortunately it’s a stylised semi-video rather than a live-in-the-studio kind of thing. I was very disappointed by the second single but still hoping they have a great album in them.
Just stumbled across this band - one of the great aspects of YouTube is the artists you stumble across. Can't wait for an album from them
Wet Leg: The band with millions of streams and just two songs Never knew the "muffin" line was from a film:
New song. Also, from their latest email: “OKAY IT'S HAPPENING! OUR DEBUT ALBUM IS CALLED WET LEG AND IT'S COMING APRIL 8. SUCH A BIG MILESTONE FOR US HOBBITS. WE NEVER THOUGHT WE'D GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN ALBUM WHEN WE STARTED THE BAND. YOU CAN PREORDER THE VINYL AND ALL SORTS RIGHT NOW AT THE LINKS BELOW.”
I don’t need no dating app To tell me that I look like crap To tell me if I’m thin or fat To tell me should I shave my rat lol they tread a fine line between terrible and genius but I love all three songs so far.
I agree, but the deadpan delivery and the fact that the songs are catchy with just enough edge makes it work for me. I'm definitely buying tickets for the Chicago show.
