Wet Leg share "Oh No" video, expand 2022 tour

Wet Leg have just shared the video for “Oh No” from the band’s much anticipated self-titled debut album (pre-order on vinyl). Like “Chaise Longue” and “Wet Dream,” they directed it themselves, and it features Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers wearing a costume made of ropes that looks a bit like the dog on the cover of Beck’s Odelay album. “The video was shot on the Isle of Wight at the bottom of a chairlift that you can take from the top of the cliff,” says Teasdale. “The rope costume – made by costume designer Kate Tabor – weighed an absolute tonne and it took three of us to carry it down the cliff to shoot. We’d each grab onto a limb, and after 20 minutes of heavy lifting managed to get it down the steep steps leading to the beach. We’re thinking of starting it up as a workout class for alternative types.”

Teasdale adds, “It’s been a pretty wild ride for us these past few months, we never really thought much past actually making music and playing gigs. It’s quite an odd thing to suddenly open yourself to so much criticism and praise alike. The comments that complete strangers will leave on our videos are so funny and range wildly in sentiment. Although we know it is bad for us to read them and we try to avoid it, sometimes it’s irresistible when you’re on your own; the 3am doom scroll really gets you. For this video, we have obsessively selected our favorite bits from the comments sections across our socials, the good, the bad, the ugly and have repurposed them to make something new – it has been quite cathartic actually.”
