This is like Peaches crossed with Le Tigre's "Deceptacon" and I absolutely love it! "Wet Leg, On The Chaise Longue".

As if any further proof was needed of just how hot the new band scene along come Wet Leg to trump everybody. Their Chaise Longue track is a genius slice of indie minimalism driven by an incessant drum machine and an impatient bass. The Isle of Wight duo of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers debut single is deadpan, cheeky and slightly salacious post-punk that is very much doing its own thing with distant relatives like the newly rediscovered Delta 5 and Au pairs from way back in the punk rock wars or the wonderful Dry Cleaning in these modern times. Drawing on a long tradition of artists who have the guts NOT to take themselves seriously (When all around are). Reminds me of Moon Unit Zappa, Darts, Lemon Jelly, Bow Wow Wow. All Creative Originals who absolutely knew how to laugh at Them Self (and the pretentious insiders of The Pop Industry...) And this debut single from Wet Leg is simply reminiscent of all those glorious piss take funny and fantastic musical moments!
