V2 records news – Wet Leg - Shares Video For"Pokemon"

Wet Leg - pokemon (Official Video)

TRIPLE GRAMMY NOMINATED
"moisturizer"

Fresh from their three Grammy nominations last month – for Alternative Performance ("mangetout"), Alternative Album, and Best Album Cover – today, Wet Leg share the new video for "pokemon".

The band's second album moisturizer is largely an album about being, as the band exclaim on "pond song", so "DEEP! IN! LOVE!!!!" and it contains love songs of every stripe: stressed-out, gooey-eyed, gratuitously horny, blissed out, obsessive, mysterious. On "pokemon", Rhian Teasdale takes in nearly all of these emotions across its three and a half minutes running time.

The video – directed by Elliott Arndt of Faux Real – who are a frequent tour support for Wet Leg – reveals a story of a person (played by Alice Longyu Gao) in an unusual relationship with a giant egg, a fitting entry into the surreal Wet Leg archive.

Wet Leg have just finished their UK & Ireland headline tour including a thundering show at London's Royal Albert Hall. The band head back to the US later this month for a string of further live dates.

"moisturizer was fierce and more muscular, equally funny but considerably less whimsical, and with a glut of killer alt-rock anthems" Mojo #10 Albums of the Year
