Out Now: Wet Leg Riding High with Quirky, Engaging & Dynamic Debut Album (Listen)
The past year or so has seen U.K. indie/rock duo Wet Leg become a bit of a global phenomenon, the momentum of the band’s breakthrough single “Chaise Longue” more or less becoming a contemporary classic among indie circles.
It was all gearing up to this past Friday, April 8’s release of the band’s debut full-length, a record which quickly ascended up the streaming and iTunes charts.

In addition to their unique delivery and songwriting style, Wet Leg also has dashes of The Breeders and Pixies that come to mind while giving the record a listen. It all blends into a very engaging listen.
Based on the early returns, Wet Leg will only see its stature rise now that the album has been unlashed to the masses — so get on board! Stream the record below.
