How does Wet Leg roll out a new album? It’s just like “rolling out the doughnut”

In Primavera Sound Barcelona, ​​Rhian Teasdale, 32, comes out of smoke, orange stained with theater lights, and courageously praises her arms in the air. She hovers over the microphone, and bridged eyebrows and hair that fade from brown roots to pink. Her clothes are highlighted by a white shirt and neon fishing network dress – a clear exit from the bohemian style, which has proven spreading amid the launch of the “wet leg” in 2022.

Anyone who watched the five -piece rock band in 2025 will know that this is visually different from those that lasted three years.

“It was five years ago,” says Teasdale. “People have seen your image in a certain way, then grow, change.

“It is funny how much people expect to remain the same, and it is this great statement in some way for growth and change.”

It also indicates that she is “still conscious”, she chose her previous clothes from discomfort. Now, feel more at home in her skin, she can follow a more authentic approach to herself.

“I didn’t want the men to be sexual,” she said. “The idea of ​​showing any skin and anyone may think that male looks made me want to cover up and not notice that.

“It was not a kind of conscious transformation of hardware, but there are some things that I can look at and determine the reason for my self -expression.”

However, his first appearance is a self-title-such as Kitschy and Cottagecore as it was in appearance and sound-just justified the reception he received, and it features confusing paths such as “Chaise Longue” and “Wet Dream”. In the last music video, Teasdale and Chambers roam the unforgettable blue dresses during the sport of seat jogging gloves. But it will be “Chaise Longue” who grabbed the Grammy Award in the Alternative Music Performance category; The band also won the alternative album.

Being stuck within the borders of an island only 140,000 people, the wet leg ascending in a meteor was. Teasdale states that the lives of the indigenous White Island residents “have changed completely”; She was a London commercial aide, and the guitarist Ellis Durand was putting the scaffolding, the Henry Holmes player was the browsing coach, and guitarist Joshua Mobaracki in a café and occupied Chambers as a jewelry making in family business.

In fact, the island is “very sleeping and small horizon” off the coast of England, known as its beautiful coast, which is a grain of sand in the canal, hidden under the shadow of the mainland.

“You have to take a boat there,” says Teseld on Al -Jazeera. “There is no bridge, there is no tunnel.”

Although she has since moved to London, and left her in the background vision in 18 years, she indicates that Chambers, Mobaraki and Durand are still calling her home. Holmes also made madness to the city.

“We all live our little life and suddenly tour the world,” says Teasdale. “It is crazy to go to Grammys and look at all famous people from a shortcut and feel very strange.”

Nevertheless, it seems that the group is well modified on fame, returning to its second year album, “Moisturizer”. He recorded the most expressive and sincere expression of his predecessor. Although no one can deny the sleeping nature of strikes such as “Chaise Longue” and “Wet Dream”, the group has undoubtedly evolved and appears across the 12 -track project.

Let Leg has seen a change in appearance since it appeared for the first time in three years.

It is opened with “CPR” OH-SO-SMOOT, the second song released from the album, which Teasdale describes as “walking to a wonderful height [and] Jumping to the abyss that is love. “This proves to be a fixed topic through” moisturizer “, which often feels like a teasdale poem to a painful heart.

This flows into “filtering”, which is a feeling of eagerness, and the question of heart pain, “a lot of creatures in the world – how can I be your?” On “Jennifer”, the soft teasdale delivery lights up to say, “Every day it starts and ends with you / stick to me, and get your height” before taking the back seat and leaving the Chamber guitar away.

“I think before falling into love this time with my current partner, I had no interest in writing love songs,” Tesel is acknowledged. “I was not only historian even my partner … I feel that the world is saturated with love songs from a very heterogeneous perspective and I did not feel any interest in it at all.”

As for changing the heart: “I think love is really heavy this time … I am very very very, in love.”

With joy, the album’s release of this time also compared to a somewhat mysterious profession that I delivered before the band climbing. TEASDAE, who was once working as a baked, says that their appearance for the first time was like “When a new job begins and you were told that you should make cakes.”

“You do not know where there is any of the things, so someone must teach you … Where are the cookie partitions, and where is the sugar box,” she says. “You know, just like release an album, turn on cakes, and put this dough.”

The album highlights in its third individual song, “Davina McCall”, a dreamer and refers to the famous British “National Treasure” known for its work as a TV headquarters on “Big Brother”. Teasdale says she watched the show as a child in the first decade of the twentieth century and she was always fascinated when Maccal turns into the camera and says: “This is Davina, I am coming to get you” when a contestant was eliminated.

“It was a very exciting moment when Davina McAkal was coming to get you,” she says. “It is a kind of small joke that I will come and meet you wherever you are.”

Teasdale says McCall has recently reached a wet leg width after the band told her that she wrote a song using her name. Fortunately, it was “very great” and gave “the best hugs ever.”

But it is also a pleasure for fans to notice that the group still maintains its signing, in the form of mysterious words in its tongue. On “manteout”, he sings Teasdale “Do you want F – I am?

“The most muscular sound in this album is just the result of five people who tour together for a shy thing for three years,” she says. “I think my feeling of humor will always be the same … It is impossible to leave it behind it.”

In the past few tracks, the album slows down significantly. “11:21” is a beautiful song that finds strength in its simplicity. The title is a call to this day, TEASDAE met its partner: “Time is going through / but I feel the same thing from you since the day we met for the first time,” sings.

It is confined to “Do not speak”, which is less than the essence of the same essence that the rest of the “moisturizer” and “u and I are at home.” The latter is the closest album and features some of the best Chambers shows in the album; It is a good farewell for an excellent project.

“I think when you are really close to someone, this means that you do not have to use words,” says Teasdale to work with Chambers. “It is easy, cheerful and more natural.”

The “moisturizer” strikes broadcasting services and music stores on July 11, with all the capabilities of their appearance for the first time, even with its success as it was. Together, the band seems more accurate for more than three years and – if its last shows are something that should explode – looking to illuminate the theater in their tour in North America, which begins in September and stops in Los Angeles on October 17.

“I am only excited about people to hear the rest of the album, because it is just a fun album,” says Teasdale. “We have played on the air, so I am excited when it’s no longer secret anymore.”
