Wet Leg reveals third track from their upcoming album 'moisturizer' listen now to 'davina mccall'

Today, Wet Leg reveal the third song from their anticipated second album moisturizer – due July 11th. Entitled “davina mccall”, it’s a soft, lovelorn ballad that takes a cheeky premise – Big Brother and Shakira - and coats it in a sense of earnestness that’s new for Wet Leg; it’s a song about pure, unadulterated devotion.

The video for “davina mccall” is directed by Chris Hopewell and is a charming stop-motion animation where we meet the band as clay figures cruising along in search of a feather-stealing goblin whilst calling back to the “CPR” video and their family portrait.

“davina mccall” is also a great showcase of the band’s new way of collaborating: Hester Chambers began the song and teased it out with Ellis Durand; Rhian Teasdale wrote the lyrics and melody, a process that felt a little like solving a mystery. “Ellis and I were on the edge of our seats being like, ‘We’re gonna get this, we’re completing the puzzle’” says Chambers.

Alongside the previously announced outstores, Wet Leg have confirmed one at London’s Electric Ballroom as well as over 180global listening parties. Info on outstores here and on global listening parties here. The band play Glastonbury Festival this weekend.

Wet Leg performed previous singles “CPR” and “catch these fists” on Later with Jools Holland earlier this month. Watch HERE.

A 7” of “CPR” and “davina mccall” will also be released on July 11th. 7” artwork:
