Wet Leg's Sophomore Album Moisturizer Hits No. 1 in the U.K.

As of October 10th, 2025, the British indie rock band Wet Leg has achieved a historic double by topping both the U.K. albums and singles charts with their sophomore release, Moisturizer. This marks a significant milestone for the group, who have continued to evolve their sound under the guidance of acclaimed producer Dan Carey.

Carey, who previously helmed Wet Leg's self-titled debut, returned to the fold to help the band's new lineup unleash an even more captivating sonic palette. According to the producer, the group was no longer working in an "imaginary space" and knew that people would be listening intently to their latest work. This awareness pushed them to avoid repeating themselves, instead opting for a "darker, slower, heavier" direction.

The full band's involvement in the writing process also proved crucial, as each member's deeper understanding of the songs' construction and meaning translated into tighter, more cohesive performances in the studio. Carey notes that the band's chemistry had evolved to the point of being "almost telepathic," with the fresh material still feeling exciting to play despite their extensive touring.
