moisturizer is the bold, second album from Wet Leg, the Isle of Wight five-piece founded by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers. Joined by Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobaraki, Wet Leg has spent the past few years on the road, evolving into a feral, electrifying live force. This new record captures that energy, delivering a sound that's tighter, bolder, and more self-assured, yet still brimming with the same quick wit and raw, unrefined energy.

Isolated in a remote house in the countryside, moisturizer was written in a creative frenzy, diving into themes of obsession and all-consuming love. While their 2022 debut earned Grammy wins and chart-topping success, moisturizer brings the bite: brash guitars, heavy beats, and a fearless devotion to feeling everything—all at once.

Even without a breakout hit like 'Chaise Longue,' Moisturizer is more confident, and more revealing, than Wet Leg's debut. These are love songs for people who don't want to fall in love, made by a band that sounds more comfortable in its skin than ever.

On the follow up to their explosive debut, they've kept what worked previously—the songs are playful, cheeky, horny, joyful, and noisy—but have a new breadth of style that makes for not only infectious tunes, but a successful and frankly better record. The diversity in guitar tone is one of the strongest elements of the record, giving it a fantastic sonic variety that invites repeat listens.
