Wet Leg have shared a new, self-directed video for ‘mangetout’. Check it out below.

The track comes from their latest album, ‘Moisturizer‘, which was released earlier this year.

In the new video, vocalist Rhian Teasdale appears in a huge blonde-and-black wig that completely obscures her face as she dances in slow motion in a cornfield, on a beach and at a petrol station.

Halfway through, however, the video takes a graphic twist, with Teasdale pulling off the wig to reveal that her face and body are covered in blood.

Check it out below.

 

The follow-up to their self-titled debut came out on July 11, and soon saw them reach the top of the UK Albums Charts – beating off competition from Oasis.

To celebrate the milestone, the band took aim at the Britpop giants with a tongue-in-cheek post. They uploaded a photo of Teasdale holding a vinyl copy of the album while wearing an Oasis-labelled T-shirt. However, instead of the Gallagher brothers, this t-shirt features a still from the 1994 comedy Dumb and Dumber.

NME awarded ‘Moisturizer’ four stars, commending it for its strength and style. “After the whirlwind that was Wet Leg’s debut album, it would have been easy for the band to capitulate under the pressure or just play it safe and remake that record,” it read.

“But on their second effort, they’ve evolved into a smarter, sexier and altogether stronger creature. Would we still love Wet Leg if they turned into a worm? With this album under their belts, the answer is undoubtedly yes.”

Earlier this year, they surprised fans at Green Man by playing an intimate secret set before they headlined The Mountain Stage.

In other news, in 2026 they’re due to play the Isle Of Wight Festival, as well as Primavera Sound Barcelona.
