Kicking off their UK tour last week that saw the band play two storming shows at London’s Brixton Academy as well as Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Wet Leg continue their comeback with the palpitation-inducing new single ‘CPR’.
The opening track of their second album moisturizer (due July 11), ‘CPR’ is one of the many love songs found on their upcoming record. However, Rhian Teasdale’s refrain of “Is it love, or suicide?” confirms that this is not exactly Wet Leg Does Barry Manilow. As the band lock into a sleazy beat, Teasdale sings about her new romance with a sly, nihilistic deadpan, before letting all hell break loose on the chorus.
The video for ‘CPR’, directed by the band, is a headbanging, freewheeling, one-take glimpse into the world of the UK’s most beloved oddballs.
