CHAISE LONGUE or: How Wet Leg Buttered The Indie World’s Muffin I New British Canon

Few modern rock bands have had the near immediate success of Wet Leg. Earning ungainly comparisons to Pavement, Liz Phair and The B-52s thanks to their deadpan talk-singing, Wet Leg’s musical formula was simple: loud guitars, fun times and not taking yourself too seriously. A welcome change of pace from the dour post-Brexit post-punk surrounding them. Released in the Summer of 2021, their buzzy debut single blended innuendo, Mean Girls references and French furniture to thrilling effect, perhaps even signalling a new dawn for UK rock. This is New British Canon and this is the story of “Chaise Longue.” #WetLeg #britawards #musicdocumentary Fact-checking by Serenity Autumn. 00:00 Introduction 00:52 The Origin Story of Wet Leg 04:31 Writing “Chaise Longue“ 09:10 Recording Their Debut Album 14:10 The Near Immediate Ascent of Wet Leg Soundtrack Luar - Citrine () Jesse Gallagher - The Golden Present Luar - Anchor (https://so
