Wet Leg reveal the third song from their anticipated second album moisturizer – due July 11th. Entitled ‘davina mccall’, it’s a soft, lovelorn ballad that takes a cheeky premise – Big Brother and Shakira - and coats it in a sense of earnestness that’s new for Wet Leg; it’s a song about pure, unadulterated devotion.
The video for ‘davina mccall’ is directed by Chris Hopewell and is a charming stop-motion animation, where we meet the band as clay figures cruising along in search of a feather-stealing goblin, while calling back to the ‘CPR’ video and their family portrait.
‘davina mccall’ is also a great showcase of the band’s new way of collaborating: Hester Chambers began the song and teased it out with Ellis Durand; Rhian Teasdale wrote the lyrics and melody, a process that felt a little like solving a mystery. “Ellis and I were on the edge of our seats, being like, ‘We’re gonna get this, we’re completing the puzzle,” says Chambers.
Wet Leg performed previous singles ‘CPR’ and ‘catch these fists’ on Later with Jools Holland earlier this month. Watch HERE. The band play Glastonbury Festival this weekend.
Wet Leg are Rhian Teasdale, Hester Chambers, Ellis Durand (bass), Henry Holmes (drums), and Joshua Mobaraki (guitar, synth).
moisturizer is available to pre-order on limited edition 3D gatefold cream coloured vinyl w/ signed photo, picture disc vinyl, standard vinyl, cassette, CD and digitally.
