Wet Leg Return With Gritty New Single ‘CPR’ Ahead of Highly Anticipated Album ‘moisturizer’


British indie rock phenomenon and Grammy Award winners Wet Leg have officially kicked off a bold new chapter with their pulsating new single ‘CPR’, the opening track from their upcoming second album
moisturizer, due out July 11.

Following two explosive shows at London’s Brixton Academy and a standout performance at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Wet Leg are building serious momentum. On ‘CPR’, frontwoman Rhian Teasdale dissects the chaos of new love with razor-sharp wit, singing the jarring line “Is it love, or suicide?” over a sleazy, slow-burning groove that explodes into a chaotic chorus. The result is a love song twisted into something darker, funnier, and distinctly Wet Leg.

The accompanying music video, self-directed by the band, is a hypnotic one-take ride — part road trip, part fever dream — capturing the band’s offbeat charm and undeniable energy.

‘CPR’ follows the frenetic lead single ‘catch these fists’, recently performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Jonathan Ross Show. With moisturizer, Wet Leg are ready to turn up the volume — promising a record that’s louder, dirtier, and bursting with cheeky exuberance.
