.wetlegband's debut album is out now. Is it worth the hype? Here's our review
Whether Wet Leg is “authentically indie” or have in fact been swept into a mainstream maelstrom, their self-titled debut album speaks for itself: a fresh, flirtatious and devilishly fun project — one of the most thrilling and singular rock albums released this year, DIY or not., out Friday, is witty, self-referential and danceable, loaded with anthems for the extroverted introvert — all those FOMO-stricken shut-ins who like the idea of a party but beg to leave the moment they arrive .
as an example— a more serious lament and apathy toward adulthood seeps through: “It used to be so fun, now everything just feels dumb, I wish I could care,” Teasdale, 28, croons over a less-than-subtle interpolation of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World” melody. As Wet Leg navigates the general slog of daily existence, there’s plenty of room for heartache, too. “Loving You” skewers an ex who’s sent a few too many late-night “you up?” texts: “Don’t call me up / You fucked it up / I’m not your friend / I’m not your pal … I hope you choke on your girlfriend,” Teasdale politely sneers over a saccharine melody akin to Tommy James and the Shondells’ “Crimson and Clover.
Elsewhere, “Oh No” is a breezy ode to social media doom-scrolling and “Supermarket” is like if Afroman’s “Because I Got High” was a hazy indie love song.
