Jul 10, 2025Far from being burned out (or being bullied into selling out) by the sudden wave of global fame, they’ve doubled down on their own weird energy. Moisturizer's uncanny electricity is off the voltmeter.
-
Jul 11, 2025moisturizer is different from the band’s debut—more pensive, more entangled, perhaps more insecure—but it is still blessedly, joyously, and essentially strange.
-
Jul 8, 2025It’s an album that balances intense aggression with sing-along melodies and introspection with detached cynicism. And those delicate balancing acts serve as a worthy step forward from Wet Leg’s excellent 2022 debut.

Jul 7, 2025Moisturizer is a bold, confident blast fuelled by the security and invincibility of a deep love. [Aug 2025, p.23]
-

Jul 11, 2025It’s certainly more earnest and intimate than Wet Leg, but they haven’t lost the eccentric spark that made them stars. And if moisturizer feels a little unhinged at times, that’s because it is. Occasionally, it tries a bit too hard and doesn’t quite capture the chaotic charm of the debut, which still stands as the stronger release.
