Wet Leg Unveil Video for “pokemon” Directed by Elliott Arndt of Faux Real

“All the playful swagger and frenetic energy fans have long loved about the band”

– NPR Music

“Wet Leg are back with a vengeance”

– Rolling Stone

“A near-reinvention, an unbridled and clear-eyed testament to their songwriting chops that hones their vision and separates them from the pack”

– Pitchfork

“moisturizer is a blast”

– The Guardian

“Wet Leg’s return is a knockout”

– NME

Fresh from their three GRAMMY nominations last month – for ‘Best Alternative Performance’ (“mangetout”), ‘Best Alternative Album,’ and ‘Best Album Cover’ – Wet Leg have shared the new video for “pokemon.”

The band’s second album moisturizer is largely an album about being, as the band exclaim on the track “pond song,” so “DEEP! IN! LOVE!!!!” and it contains love songs of every stripe: stressed-out, gooey-eyed, gratuitously horny, blissed out, obsessive, mysterious. On “pokemon,” Rhian Teasdale takes in nearly all of these emotions across its three and a half minutes running time.

The video – directed by Elliott Arndt of Faux Real – who are a frequent tour support for Wet Leg – reveals a story of a person (played by Alice Longyu Gao) in an unusual relationship with a giant egg, a fitting entry into the surreal Wet Leg archive.
