moisturizer is the bold, second album from Wet Leg, the Isle of Wight five-piece founded by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers. Joined by Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobaraki, Wet Leg has spent the past few years on the road, evolving into a feral, electrifying live force. This new record captures that energy, delivering a sound that’s tighter, bolder, and more self-assured, yet still brimming with the same quick wit and raw, unrefined energy.
Isolated in a remote house in the countryside, moisturizer was written in a creative frenzy, diving into themes of obsession and all-consuming love. While their 2022 debut earned Grammy wins and chart-topping success, moisturizer brings the bite: brash guitars, heavy beats, and a fearless devotion to feeling everything—all at once.

STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: The 'difficult' second album from the meteorically popular, Obama-approved Wet Leg sees the Isle of Wight duo pushing their sound further into the territory of off-kilter jangling indie, shining with melodic streaks and soaring choruses. Their humour and understated songwriting shine through too, with moments of wry self-deprecation commonplace among the melodic maelstrom. It's brilliant, and shows a band that aren't slowing down for anyone.TRACK LISTING
