Wet Leg announce new album ‘Moisturizer’
Wet Leg have announced details of their second album Moisturizer, along with the release of new single ‘Catch These Fists’.
The Isle of Wight group, founded by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, will release their sophomore album on July 11th, 2025. It will be available in various formats, including a limited edition 3D gatefold cream-coloured vinyl with a signed photo. Moisturizer is their first release since their 2022 self-titled debut album, which shot the band to commercial and critical success.
Their lead single ‘Catch These Fists’ marked an energetic return from the band, which they described as a natural follow-up from their debut. “I don’t think we felt any pressure to switch it up,” adding that “we were all excited to write together,” Teasdale told Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1.
The band reunited with producer Dan Carey for the record, heading to Southwold to write and live during the creative process. The immersive recording method means that, unlike the first record, all five members of Wet Leg have writing credits on Moisturizer.
“We were just kind of having fun and exploring,” said Chambers. “We focussed on: Is this going to be fun to play live? It was very natural that we would write the second record together” adds Teasdale.
According to the press release for the record, Moisturizer is largely a record about being in love, containing “love songs of every stripe: stressed-out, gooey-eyed, gratuitously horny, blissed out, obsessive and mysterious.”
The band have already booked in a string of shows upon the release of their second album. Beginning in May, the band will embark on a tour that includes London’s Brixton Academy, festival performances at Glastonbury, Primavera, Radio 1’s Big Weekend, as well as headlining Green Man Festival. Their UK tour will also visit Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and Leeds.
