Wet Leg doesn’t want your love — they just wanna fight. The whipsmart English band is back with a new single, on April Fool’s Day no less, and it’s a noisy number dubbed “catch these fists” that’s sure to cause a ruckus. The punchy track is the first taste of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers’ sophomore album moisturizer, set for July 11 release via Domino, and it sets a provocative tone as the band fend off unwanted advances from a belligerent bloke as their new-age dance-punk sways, struts, and somersaults in every direction. Everyone’s gonna love this one, yeah, and it should sound dope live (including when it’s performed Wednesday night on The Tonight Show). Says Teasdale on the album’s writing process: “We focussed on: Is this going to be fun to play live?” We know the answer, we hear the answer.
