Wet Leg share “Ur Mum” video; debut album finally out this week - Pop It Records

Wet Leg's self-titled debut is finally out this week (preorder) and just ahead of it they're sharing another new single, "Ur Mum." It's another instantly catchy, danceable indie rock earworm, with Rhian Teasdale ripping into an ex. "When I think about what you've become, I feel sorry for your mum," she sings, "And when you’re getting blazed, spooning mayonnaise, yeah I know it’s time to go." Says Teasdale who also lets loose her "longest and loudest scream" in the song. “I was pretty angry at the way things had gone in this particular dynamic. It’s just a diss song I wrote to make myself feel better. It worked.”

The video, directed by Lava La Rue, has Teasdale and Hester Chambers as cornershop clerks and getting into all sorts of misadventures. “The Ur Mum video was all about bringing the viewer into the Wet Leg world - sprinkling details throughout the visual that not only reference at least 4 songs off the album but also plenty of inside jokes within the band too," says La Rue. "Artistically it shows where the aesthetic of American indie films like Napoleon Dynamite fit perfectly in the scape of rural British settings - this concept first came to me when the band took me to IOW for the first time - I saw the connection and it all clicked into place.”

You can watch the video below.

Preorder Wet Leg on yellow vinyl, and pick up the "Chaise Longue" 7", in the BV shop.
