Wet Leg Debuts New Song ‘Mangetout’ At Band’s First-Ever Tiny Desk Concert

Four years after their breakout single “Chaise Longue” garnered millions of streams and cast Wet Leg into the spotlight, the Isle of Wight-based indie rockers have joined the pantheon of artists who’ve taken part in NPR’s long-running Tiny Desk concert series. The extremely intimate setting and paired-down production proved no obstacle for the quintet as they played a four-song set with musical precision that belied their relaxed performance style.

For fans, the highlight of the set was likely the debut of “Mangetout” from Wet Leg’s upcoming sophomore album “Moisturizer.” While the track’s aggressively pointed lyrics implore its unfortunate “bottom feeder” subject to “get lost forever,” the bridge mixes the vibe up with a beautifully sung, disjunct melody that subtly showcases lead singer Rhian Teasdale’s chops before the whole band jumps in for a final shout chorus. The almost sludgy opener “CPR” and carefree easy listener “Davina McCall” provided contrasts in energy, while the debut of Moisturizer’s “11:21″—what NPR described as “a languid, dreamy ode to the enduring power of love”—closed out the set. Listen for yourself below:

Moisturizer, due out July 11, has already gathered promising early reviews from critics. Declaring the record “a terrific soundtrack for a long, hot summer,” AP News praised expanded skills and range from the group, which has grown from the original duo of Teasdale and guitarist Heather Chambers to a five-piece also including bassist Ellis Durand, drummer Henry Holmes and guitarist/synth player Joshua Mobaraki. Meanwhile, The Guardian wrote, “The songs are supremely punchy, the tunes contagious: Moisturizer is a blast.” After listening to their Tiny Desk set above, check out Wet Leg’s upcoming shows in Europe and North America below:
