“moisturizer was fierce and more muscular, equally funny but considerably less whimsical, and with a glut of killer alt-rock anthems” Mojo #10 Albums of the Year
“moisturizer is a blast” The Guardian #27 Albums of the Year
“Now expanded to a five-piece, with a richer, gnarlier sound to match, they’ve sidestepped the common fate of oddballs who crash the mainstream: rather than smoothing their edges, they’ve leaned into what made them strange” Crack
“moisturizer is a bold, confident blast fuelled by the security and invincibility of a deep love” Uncut Album of the Month 8/10
“Wet Leg’s return is a knockout” NME #22 Albums of the Year
“On moisturizer, their second consecutive No.1 album, they get weirder, wilder and all loved up”Wonderland
“Wet Leg have stuck to their guns: the silliness, the subversion, the singalong tunes are all here” The Times 4*
moisturizer, the ripping second album by Wet Leg is fast approaching its first anniversary. To celebrate, the Isle of Wight five-piece have announced moisturizer (deluxe), an expanded set that includes remixes from horsegiirL, The Dare and FDC DJs; three songs previously unreleased on streaming comprising “hi from me” which was originally only available on the Japanese CD, a demo of “don’t speak” recorded by Hester at her home studio and “u and me at home intro/outro” – the first part of which fans will recognise as the band’s walk-on music. The deluxe album is rounded off with a handful of live recordings made at LA’s The Village studios in 2025 and moisturizer (deluxe) will be released on July 10th.
The remix by FDC DJs (aka Carlos O’Connell and Tom Coll of Fontaines D.C.) is shared today alongside the announcement, their version of “catch these fists” twists it into something darker and seedier emphasising Teasdale’s barbed lyrics: “He don’t get puss, he get the boot”alongside brooding synths and propulsive drums.

Released at the height of summer 2025, moisturizer—with its highwire tales of new loves, enduring friendships and chauvinist losers—captured the spirit of a fried world that still has something to give. It absorbed quickly into the centre of culture, peaking at No 1 on the UK albums chart and receiving nominations for three Grammy awards and two Brit awards. A slew of huge shows surrounding the release—at Glastonbury, London’s O2 Academy Brixton, and LA’s Greek Theatre, among others—announced Wet Leg as a band reborn, flexing and taunting onstage in their most energised, idiosyncratic sets yet.
Wet Leg roared into 2026 with nothing more to prove, but a lot of victories to celebrate. Starting the year in the Southern Hemisphere, the group toured Australia and New Zealand as part of Laneway Festival alongside acts like Chappell Roan, Geese and Pinkpantheress, with Teasdale joining NYC partyboy The Dare onstage to perform his remix of “mangetout” and Los Angeles singer-songwriter Role Model to act as Sally during a performance of his viral hit “Sally, When The Wine Runs Out.” A series of shows in Japan followed alongside a massive sync of “mangetout” in Crave/HBO’s Heated Rivalry as well as Teasdale’s attendance and walking at Paris Fashion Week that rubber-stamped Wet Leg’s continued global dominance.
All of that eases them into an even bigger year for the band. In March, Wet Leg were the first musical guest on the debut season of SNL UKalongside host Tina Fey, an unprecedented honour that speaks to their status as one of the country’s premier artists. Hot on the heels of that performance, “mangetout” hit No 1 on the US Alternative Radio airplay chart, making them the first female-fronted independent outfit to reach the top of the chart this decade. Additionally, Rhian recently joined comedian Joe Wilkinson for an episode of his new Channel 4 show Train-ing It, watch it here.
Fresh from two sets at Coachella (where horsegiirL joined them for “CPR” at the first weekend), this summer sees a series of outdoor summer shows in the UK—their largest headline shows to date—and appearances at Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, Osheaga and a massive hometown set at Isle of Wight festival.
In other words, it’s Wet Leg’s world now—we’re just lucky to be living in it.
