Wet Leg share new video and single for ‘CPR’
Alice Backham
Wet Leg has an emergency: the band is in love. The band are sounding the alarm on new single “CPR,” a dark and twisted attempt at a love song. “Is it love or suicide?” lead singer Rhian Teasdale asks over a simple riff. The answer is, of course, in her lover’s kiss. “Put your mouth to mine, give me CPR,” she wails in the revved-up chorus.
Along with the track, Wet Leg have shared a new video for “CPR,” which all members (Teasdale, along with Hester Chambers, Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, and Joshua Mobaraki) directed. In it, the band take a sunny drive on a road surrounded by lush greenery as Teasdale swings around in the backseat, phoning in the aforementioned emergency. The lead singer is a carefree queen as she sings, “I’m in love and you’re to blame.”
The new track will open Wet Leg’s upcoming album, Moisturizer, set for release on July 11 via Domino. “Although Teasdale previously felt allergic to writing love songs, Moisturizer is defined by its sheer exuberance, and Teasdale ended up finding the process empowering,” a statement for “CPR” reads.
In April, Wet Leg came out swinging when they announced moisturizer with their first single of 2025, “Catch These Fists.” The band has since announced a 22-stop North American tour, which will kick off in September. Along with stops in Los Angeles and New York, Wet Leg will also headline Rolling Stone’s Gather No Moss tour stop in Nashville.
