Wet Leg share new video for ‘pokemon’
The new clip - as directed by Faux Real’s Elliott Arndt - lands as the band complete their touring run for 2025.
Fresh from completing their epic headline tour across the UK and Europe, Isle of Wight band Wet Leg have shared their new video for ‘moisturizer’ cut ‘pokemon’.
The clip - which also lands just a few weeks after the band were nominated for three Grammys - comes directed by the band’s regular touring mate Elliott Arndt of Faux Real, and sees Alice Longyu Gao play a character who is, quite literally, besotted with a giant egg. It doesn’t get more simple - or surreal, for that matter - than that.
The track gets lifted from the band’s evocative second full-length, which we called “a wonderfully crafted piece of work that cements Wet Leg’s staying power”. Revisit our review of the album now. They also recently announced plans for a handful of hefty UK headline shows next summer, alongside a slew of festival appearances. Watch the video for ‘pokemon’ below, and scroll down to dig into their upcoming live schedule.
