Wet Leg — the Isle of Wight duo made up of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers — have finally announced their self-titled debut, out April 8, 2022.
Ahead of the release, the group dropped two new songs, “Too Late Now” and “Oh No,” with the former accompanied by a video. Similar to their excellent singles “Wet Dream” and “Chaise Longue,” the tracks are steeped in dry humor and penetrating guitar riffs. In the video for “Too Late Now,” Wet Leg amble around London in bath robes with cucumbers over their eyes. “I just need a bubble bath to set me on a higher path,” Teasdale sings.
Teasdale said in a statement that the track is about sleepwalking into adulthood. “I think this song is about accepting that life can feel a bit shit from time to time,” she said. “Maybe don’t indulge that thought too much though. Just take some time for yourself. Take a breath. Have a bath. It might make you feel a bit better.”
“Wet Leg was originally just supposed to be funny,” Teasdale said of the band. “As a woman, there’s so much put on you, in that your only value is how pretty or cool you look. But we want to be goofy and a little bit rude. We want to write songs that people can dance to. And we want to people to have a good time, even if that might not possible all of the time.”
Wet Leg will tour North America next month supporting Chvrches. They’ll return to the States in the spring of 2022, where they’ll play Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg, SXSW in Austin, Texas, and other major cities before heading back to the U.K.

Hit-Boy stepped into a more energetic and party driven sound on his latest single "Franchise Boy," released exclusively through YouTube. The record leans on a smooth and stripped back soul sample while also nodding to Dem Franchise Boyz and their classic track "White Tee." Hit-Boy rides the production effortlessly, delivering confident bars packed with flexes about his success and high end lifestyle. The song blends hints of Jersey club rhythms with touches of Miami bass influence, giving the track an addictive and upbeat feel. "Franchise Boy" feels like a strong preview of what could be another exciting run of music from Hit-Boy.

N***as had said it was love,
But it wasn't love, I'm really above
The s**t you be talking, I'm floating and walking
In Margiela runners, you won't see them often
