WET LEG a girl band from the Isle of Wight on Domino Records

Two notes (occasional half step down) over chord changes would be an imprrovement over a spoken slide down a chromatic scale.

Actually that would get me on board! I think the vocal is the only thing I have a problem with on the WL track.

i like this band more than I should based on the way she sings "driving in my car" and the 'here we go' chant bit.

getting insane hype and winning ILM EOY polls on the first try. I

we’re being suspicious of a girl unit winning the ILM poll without an existing fan base now?

It worked for Lily Allen, dinit?

...wut

that song by The Chap is fucking 'orrible

i'm don't think there's much stanning? i'm okay with the song, feels like a fun one hit wonder thing...i'm just constantly perplexed by "attractive young people make an extremely catchy pop song and it got popular" becoming some byzantine chaise lounge industrial complex oliver stone movie conspiracy

xp your loss tracer but for those who care, new album is out next month, gonna be called 'why the longue chaise?'

just want to say how much i love this post

it really is excellent. would post to excelsior but fear that'd make me a pawn on Domino Records' chessboard.

The last thing I'll mention is WL putting a song called "Angelica" brought to mind this one from 1997 which think sounds like a kind-of proto Wet Leg in an odd way (although none of their other stuff did apart from this).

Heh, the singer is in The Lovely Eggs.

in england they spell things different. like, color is "c-o-l-o-u-r" and "middle-aged poptimists" is "middle-aged p-a-e-d-o-p-h-i-l-e-s"

also I counter your lyric argument with "Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?" which is a perfect pop song non-sequitur IMHO

i didn't know this until today but

The lyric "Is your muffin buttered?/Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?" is a direct quote from the 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls.[9]

the phrase is used by a male character btw as if you couldn't have guessed the context

crying at how bad this song is. like, there actually would've been no better choice to illustrate the taste divide in this thread. just a pitch perfect punchline

eh, audiobooks are good not bad imo

this audiobooks song sounds like someone remixed Farrah Abraham and took out all of the things that made her music compelling

lmao jordan otm

one of these bands has a calculated, overly polished, cool-kids-trying-too-hard vibe covering for songs that are barely there. the other is wet leg.

thank you normies

Some band with a name like Power Nap: OI ME VIBES HAVE CHANGED CALL THE OOOOOBAH *autotune gibberish*

song's vibe is more like "Oh No" than "Chaise Longue". also the lyrics -- she says "Oh No" a bunch.

i listened to "chaise longue" and it sounds like a standard rock song. should i read this thread and find out what all the controversy is?

no

the exact same argument crops up every couple months, so just wait til next time

but what these advantages are seems hard to pin down.

that's only because it's considered gauche and tacky to assume the obvious

doesn't usually stop you

should i read this thread and find out what all the controversy is?

idgi

the last line

yeah fuck the Red Cross I don't understand if you meant "omg good" or "omg surprising" or ?

I think he meant the last line of bands, ie Wet Leg's @ Glasto. The Isle of Wight Machine rolls on.

yeah Red cross thing was a joke, I get that the point = Wet Leg are playing Glastonbury, but there acts in that list I've never heard of, so Wet Leg's presence doesn't seem that notable to me? anyway, I actually don't care about this band, not sure why I'm posting itt lol

I was just hoping to throw more fuel on the highly entertaining bonfire of this thread

got it

I don't get it. Is this "festival" in California or Texas?

it is kind of amazing how many of my current musical betes noires are on that bill (along with quite a few acts I actually like tbf)

wet leg aren't in the top ten menaces there

every big festival poster I see has 5-10 acts I would love to see if I had a Star Trek teleporter so I could just beam in to those sets and not have to deal with any of the aspects of going to a festival

otm except 2-3

The top-billed stars appearing to be immune to the tyranny of alphabetization seems weird to me. Having a hard time imagining people being more excited to see Diana Ross than Megan, Lorde, or Phoebe Bridgers

let alone Gaz coombes

I will never let alone Gaz Coombes

It’s pretty obvious Diana Ross will be the Sunday headliner. It’s a slot reserved for the likes of Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton etc.

…and, you know, in 2065…. Wet Leg.
