The duo released the double singles "Too Late Now" and "Oh No" on 29 November 2021, alongside a sci-fi video for the former track and the announcement of the album's release date, tracklist, and tour dates.

Composition

Primarily an indie rock, [13] post-punk, [14] alternative rock, [15] Britpop, [14] post-punk revival, [16] indie pop, [17] and punk pop album, [18] Wet Leg takes influence from a variety of other genres, particularly '90s and '00s indie and garage pop. [16] [19]

"Being in Love" is an indie pop, wonky pop, and bubblegum grunge-pop song with post-punk riffs, a synth-rock groove, and art pop influences. [18] [20] [21] "Chaise Longue" is a post-punk and garage punk song wherein Teasdale "intone[s] a series of non sequiturs – from suggestive Mean Girls quotes ('would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?') to suggestive allusions to academia" in a deadpan voice. [22] [18] "Angelica" is a psychedelic pop and slacker rock song with "ethereal, dreamy harmonies amid distorted guitars" about "a woman miserably going through the motions at a party". [22] [23] [24] [25] "I Don't Wanna Go Out" is a psychedelic and grunge song that lifts the riff from David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World". [22] [26] "Wet Dream" is an indie rock and surf rock song with disco handclaps, "a big, shout-along chorus", "a looping bassline and propulsive beat". [27] [19] [18] [16] Long-time guitarist Joshua Mobaraki co-wrote the song. Teasdale sings about an ex who texts her when she appears in his wet dreams, as well as doing other increasingly ridiculous things like "exposing himself on the side of the road, climbing onto the hood of her car, licking the windshield." [27] The song references the film Buffalo '66 in the line "Baby do you want to come home with me; I've got Buffalo '66 on DVD". [28] "Convincing", the only song Hester Chambers sings lead on, is an psychedelic folk, folk-pop, glam rock, and ethereal song influenced by lounge music that "finds [Chambers] in a rut of sadness, not ready to start digging herself out". [29] [24] [21] "Loving You" is a country pop ballad sung in falsetto that "details the breakdown of a relationship and the painful aftermath of seeing an ex moving on with someone else". [29] [18] "Ur Mum" is a surf rock-inspired pop song that sees Teasdale "calling out a former lover, asking them to forget her", culminating in Teasdale "announcing that she’s been practicing her 'loudest scream,' counting to three before letting out a screech." [30] [31] "Oh No" is a glam rock and glam punk song with "fuzzed-out guitars" about doomscrolling and smartphone anxiety. [13] [27] [18] The folk-tinged "Piece of Shit" "compares a full-of-themselves partner to excrement in the toilet bowl" and incorporates "computer game blips". [29] [32] "Supermarket" is a slacker rock song influenced by first-wave British punk that tells a story about being stoned while shopping. [22] [27] "Too Late Now" is an atmospheric, experimental post-rock and guitar pop song that features "a gratifyingly relatable self-doubt break, when the music drops out to allow Teasdale to document her existential angst as it spreads into the track she is currently performing". [22] [23] [26]

Wet Leg received widespread acclaim from music critics upon its release. On Metacritic, the album has an average score of 87 out of 100 based on 27 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [34] Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Heather Phares claimed that "It's rare that a band is so fully formed at the start of their career, but on their self-titled debut album, Wet Leg deliver more of those immediately memorable hooks and relatable, witty retorts." [35] Clash writer Robin Murray called it "the most infectious, alluring, irresistible, and downright fun debut record that’s come our way in a long, long time". [23] In a five-star review for DIY , Lisa Wright praised the band's unique personality, saying "it’s the slightly wonky worldview of the band themselves that really elevates Wet Leg into the realms of the truly special. Don’t be fooled by the prairie dresses and sweetly innocent vocal delivery, Rhian has bite and gleefully revels in a rude one liner." [39]

In another five-star review for NME , Rhian Daly called it an "instant classic" and "It rushes with liberating, infectious joy that makes you want to grab your own partner-in-crime and speed off on an adventure to find somewhere that’s, as "Angelica"'s mantra suggests, is 'good times all the time'." Rachel Aroesti of The Guardian called Wet Leg a "collection of 90s and 00s-era indie that is by turns dreamy, lush, hooky and thunderous, and layered with lyrics saturated with millennial disaffection, anxiety and overwhelm." [22] The Independent writer Annabel Nugent said that "In vocals that vacillate between taunting melody and rage, Teasdale and Chambers speak to their twenty-something peers in a language they know: work is dull, dating apps are awful, parties aren’t as fun as they used to be, death is (thankfully?) inevitable". [37] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone said that "All told, Wet Leg are a couple of artsy rock & rollers who want too much, feel too much, hate too much, while chasing too many good times. No wonder the world was so ready to fall madly in love with them. After two years of quarantine blues, there was just a widespread cultural craving for this kind of action, and Wet Leg were as surprised as anyone when they tapped into it. But the album makes it sound like they're just getting started." [14] Paste contributor Eric R. Danton said "Their songwriting is tight, their lyrics are brazen, smart and amusing, and they are at ease shifting through various indie styles. What really makes Wet Leg stand out, though, is that Teasdale and Chambers are so clearly having fun." [27]

In a more mixed review Kitty Empire, selecting it as her Observer Album of the Week, nevertheless expressed disappointment at the album's mundanity, stating "Wet Leg’s unself-conscious art seemed initially to foreground the ridiculousness of everything (especially weird stains). Their album, by contrast, drills down hard into how rubbish exes are. Relatable, of course, understandable too, but perhaps not what was originally indicated by those lobster claws." [40]

Wet Leg are the first band from the Isle of Wight to achieve a UK number 1 album. [41]
