Wet Leg star as lobsters in their new music video for single 'Wet Dream'
Post-punk duo Wet Leg, made up of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, just unleashed their newest single ‘Wet Dream’ and a music video set in their native Isle of White. With a penchant for headwear and milkmaid dresses, girlband Wet Leg come at you like characters from Heidi with their pretty innocence and girlish vocals. Listen a little closer and you’ll realise you’ve been fooled by their charm into listening to promiscuous lyricism and stark flirtatiousness with a punk sensibility.
With a shared love of French Disco, The Ronettes, Jane Birkin, Bjork and Ty Seagull, the girls started the band, and their immensely likeable sound has resulted in a fanbase that includes Paramore’s Hayley Williams, Iggy Pop, Florence Welch and film critic Mark Kermode. Equal to their musicality are their music videos, which have undoubtedly played a part in their relatively quick success, duwhich has seen them support Jungle and Declan McKenna.
Rhian says, “Wet Dream is a breakup song; it came about when one of my ex’s went through a stage of texting me after we’d broken up telling me that he ‘had a dream about me’.”
The music video, directed by Rhian Teasdale, is the embodiment of Věra Chytilová and Salvador Dali’s dreams – it stars the girls in lobster costumes, in a corn field and in on a bed in a field full of hay bales.
