Retrieved 23 December 2022. That song in particular really made me think of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and her [show] Fleabag, and Waller-Bridge is someone who's really mastered the ability to go to that dark moment and deliver true pathos. But maybe not giving us that moment is the true challenge. Staying in that more disaffected state doesn't deliver a catharsis that's more conventional, and maybe that's what's interesting about this band. Powers: I see an interesting relationship between the words and the music in the way that Teasdale delivers these lyrics — which for me adds depth. Like the song "Supermarket," where it's just kind of a whimsical love song about transforming a place of commodity exchange into a magical place when you are young and in love. But then there's that chorus of "We got too high, we got too high." They're using ghoulishly, almost helium-inflated voices. And then in the middle of the song, she's trying to introduce this partner to her parents, and he gets too high in that situation, which is actually a dark moment. The playfulness of [her] voice undercuts the darkness of the moment. Kornhaber, Spencer (15 December 2022). "The 10 Best Albums of 2022". The Atlantic .

Redfern, Mark (28 September 2021). "Wet Leg Share Surreal Video for New Song "Wet Dream" ". Under the Radar . Retrieved 25 February 2022. Cills: This is why the term industry plant keeps getting thrown around by younger audiences because the music industry has changed so rapidly that younger audiences are used to an artist going viral and then they get signed and then they record material. The idea of someone having demos and shopping those to a label or before their career takes off is just foreign. It creates a kind of skepticism when a young person sees an artist and they're not already inundated with their body of work. Williams, Tom (8 April 2022). "Album Review: Wet Leg – Wet Leg". Beats Per Minute . Retrieved 14 April 2022. Wet Leg jab with humor to disrupt these expectations. The glee that greeted the Mean Girls references and basic innuendo in “Chaise Longue” seemed a bit overdone—proof of a listenership desperate for levity (and presumably having overlooked the absurdism in Dry Cleaning’s debut)—but there are genuinely funny moments elsewhere on the album. It works best to amplify the various states of existential horror they find themselves in, though they occasionally land a devastating insult. The moody surf of “Piece of Shit” fields a call from a raging ex, and at first Teasdale stonewalls their accusations, using passivity to rile them even further: “I’m such a slut?/Alright/Whatever helps you sleep at night.” Then she turns on them, joined by Chambers in a strange, mousy little harmony that adds insult to injury: “Yeah, like a piece of shit you either sink or float/So you take her for a ride on your daddy’s boat.” Powers: We represent three different generations and it's interesting: We all hear a bit of our youth in this band, the kind of moment in youth where you're still wild and experimenting, but you're also realizing that maybe this isn't so good for your brain. I remember once when I was a kid in San Francisco, being on the train with my friend after a night of debauchery and my friend turning to me and saying, "Did you know when you drink too much the next day, your brain shrinks?" And feeling my brain shrinking in my head at that moment! Wet Leg is the sound of your brain shrinking, but it's also the sound of what happens to make your brain shrink.
