Wet Leg demonstrates that the 'moisturizer' excitement goes beyond the surface at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.

      Fearlessly exploring new territory, they proceed with the unreleased track ‘liquidise’ before revisiting their debut era with ‘Being In Love’. During this moment, Teasdale reflects on the early days of Wet Leg before introducing the band—a distinctive ensemble that has remained focused on their purpose: bringing the music to life while enjoying the process. Delving into a wave of nostalgia, the group transitions into ‘Wet Dream’, met by an audience whose energy matches the vibrant atmosphere, which remains consistent throughout all the fan favorites, including the unified primal scream during ‘Ur Mum’ (a clear result of fans’ rehearsal) and the interactive “Excuse me? What!” response in ‘Chaise Lounge’. The popular tracks are undeniable, yet the fresh material stands out remarkably. Complementing ‘catch these fists’, six unreleased songs expand upon Wet Leg’s imaginative quirks, showcasing their sharp humor and irresistible eccentricity while pursuing a new sound full of surprises. Whether drawing inspiration from the lush blend of Katy J. Pearson’s synth-pop sounds with reflective folk melodies on ‘davina mccall’, or venturing into heavy, textured rock on ‘pillow talk’, Wet Leg is determined not to settle on their past successes. Instead, they are eager to explore more rugged terrain without losing their signature lighthearted irreverence, crafting a captivating mix that perfectly aligns catchy anthems with the thrill of the unexpected. As the clock strikes 10:20, Wet Leg concludes with ‘CPR’—a sharp, energetic lifeline that wraps up the set superbly. Although there’s time for an eagerly anticipated encore, their exit from the stage is definitive; however, Wet Leg’s journey is clearly far from over. Hints of ‘moisturizer’ suggest that the upcoming album will not only maintain their vibrant buzz but enhance it—at least for now, the fans are satisfied.
