The track 'U and Me at Home' on Moisturizer by Rhian Teasdale captures the enjoyment of doing nothing, featuring guitars reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine. The song presents a light narrative about takeaways and weed, serving as an origin story for Wet Leg. Their debut single, 'Chaise Longue,' initially seemed like a novelty hit but was followed by the success of 'Wet Dream.' The debut album became a gold success in the UK and made the US Top 20, highlighting Wet Leg's impressive trajectory from a joke to a notable success.
Moisturizer concludes with a track called U and Me at Home, where Rhian Teasdale sings about the pleasures of doing nothing over guitars that bend in and out of tune in the style patented by My Bloody Valentine.
The breakthrough debut single Chaise Longue was a great song, but it carried a hint of the left-field novelty hit, the kind of funny-weird track that temporarily ignites indie disco dancefloors.
Wet Leg's eponymous debut album turned out to be stuffed with both hooks of a kind you don't really get in British alt-rock these days and witty, sharply-drawn vignettes of life among the provincial hipsters of the Isle of Wight.
Something that was a kind of joke has ended up a remarkably big deal, as Wet Leg's album went gold in the UK, made the US Top 20, and won two Brits.
