I'm still just enchanted with Wet Leg. From the Isle of Wight, they didn't have many places to play (getting to the English mainland was an EXPENSIVE ferry ride), so they spent most of the year in their room, playing and writing music. And when the local music festival season started, they would play opening slots on all kinds of bills... so 11:AM shows, outdoors, to 15 people, mostly.

And now they are a sensation and are still the quiet, soft-spoken, shy people from the Isle of Wight. (In related news, I bet the soundman on all of their interviews is yanking his hair out by the roots... they are SO QUIET, and have a lot of little in-jokes and comments between the two of them that the mics just can't pick up.)

They remind me a lot of Sleater-Kinney, musically; simple melodic structures with hard fast sections consisting of only one or two chords just being hammered rhythmically. Nothing complex or fancy. Just good, dynamic, straight-ahead, driving music with something to say.

Watching them play to a live audience is the best, because the audience is so involved and it's clearly so cathartic for them.
