The band’s latest album ‘moisturizer’ has garnered the group three Grammy nominations
Wet Leg have released the music video for their single “pokemon.” The video – directed by Elliott Arndt of Faux Real – who are a frequent tour support for Wet Leg – reveals a story of a person (played by Alice Longyu Gao) in an unusual relationship with a giant egg, a fitting entry into the surreal Wet Leg archive.

Last month, the group garnered three 2026 GRAMMY® Award nominations – for Best Alternative Performance (“mangetout”), Best Alternative Album, and Best Album Cover. Additionally, Yungblud, Linkin Park, and Turnstile also lead all rock and metal nominees with multiple nominations each. Amyl and The Sniffers and Sleep Token have each grabbed the first nominations their careers, but we’re no closer to figuring out exactly what genre Sleep Token fall into. Fresh off their massive sold-out Even in Acadia Tour, the band is nominated for both Best Metal Performance and Best Rock Song. Other notable nominees include Deftones, Dream Theater, Spiritbox, Ghost, and more.
The band’s second album moisturizer is largely an album about being, as the band exclaim on the track “pond song,” so “DEEP! IN! LOVE!!!!” and it contains love songs of every stripe: stressed-out, gooey-eyed, gratuitously horny, blissed out, obsessive, mysterious. On “pokemon,” Rhian Teasdale takes in nearly all of these emotions across its three and a half minutes running time.
Wet Leg have just wrapped their UK & Ireland headline tour including a thundering show at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The band head back to the US later this month for a string of further live dates, including Channel 93.3’s Not So Silent Night in Denver, KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas and a GRAMMY Museumperformance in Los Angeles.
