British band Wet Leg<\/strong>, one of the most explosive indie rock phenomena of recent years, is back with a bang. Their new single, “Catch These Fists”,<\/strong> marks the first preview of their second studio album, titled ‘Moisturizer’,<\/strong> which will be released on July 11, 2025<\/strong> via the Domino label. <\/p>\n\n

After a critically acclaimed, award-winning and viral hit eponymous debut, Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers<\/strong> return with an approach that maintains the irreverence that launched them to stardom, but with an even sharper and more sarcastic approach.<\/p>\n\n

“Catch These Fists”: sarcastic, danceable and delicious.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

With thick bass, taut guitars and that typically British humor, “Catch These Fists”<\/strong> is a dance-punk blast with art-punk overtones that sounds like a fist-pumping party. Teasdale sings in a whisper that ends in a slight crackle, while tossing out rhetorical questions laden with irony: <\/p>\n\n

\n

“How can you catch a medicine ball? Can you catch yourself when you fall?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The song sarcastically dismantles the figure of the nocturnal flirt and turns indifference into a weapon. And as usual with Wet Leg, behind the joke there is an acid criticism of everyday machismo, male ego and emotional posturing<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Videoclip: the DIY spirit lives on<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

The music video, directed by the band themselves and shot on the Isle of Wight<\/strong>, plays with cinematic references ranging from Ti West<\/strong> to Cameron Crowe<\/strong>, and creates visual connections to their previous hit “Wet Dream”. It is a testament to the fact that Wet Leg has not lost its taste for the absurd or its aesthetic eye for organized chaos<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
