Wet Leg – catch these fists

Wet Leg returns with “catch these fists,” the punchy lead single from their upcoming album “moisturizer” (July 11, Domino).

Produced again by Dan Carey, the song slinks between gritty indie sleaze and dance-punk, with scuzzy guitars and relentless hi-hats driving the message home: don’t mess with Wet Leg. This isn’t a love song—it’s a line in the sand.

Lyrically, “catch these fists” isn’t just about conflict—it’s about clarity. Teasdale and Hester Chambers wrote the new album post-tour, post-breakthrough, post-lockdown, and post-Teasdale’s realization that her love songs no longer needed to orbit men. That shift in perspective doesn’t soften the sound; it sharpens it. These songs are still about power—but now, it’s reclaimed.

The band’s DIY-directed video doubles down on the absurdist flair—milk chugging, hot dogs, cancan lines, and general Isle of Wight mayhem. No profound metaphor is needed—just chaos as catharsis, served with irony.
