Wet Leg Heat Up NPR Tiny Desk Concert With Four-Song ‘Moisturizer’ LP Preview


Wet Leg previewed their upcoming LP, 'Moisturizer' (July 11) with a four-song NPR Tiny Desk Concert set focused on songs from their sophomore effort.

But fans who tuned in to the four-song set from the Isle of Wight band that dropped on Wednesday morning (July 9) got an even bigger treat than another run through that smash-mouth rocker from the group’s upcoming sophomore album, Moisturizer. While they skipped the album’s first single, the band opened with another one of the LP’s preview tracks, the simmering “CPR,” during which singer Rhian Teasdale sang in a deadpan, “is it love or suicide” while rocking bespoke old-timey boxing trunks and a padded vest. The latter was an emotional ballad that found the singer staring down the center of the camera lens as guitarist/keyboardist Hester Chambers and rhythm guitarist Josh Mobaraki added spooky, spine-chilling synth notes over the track’s funereal beat.
