“catch these fists” by Wet Leg

Wet Leg came back in April 2025 with "catch these fists", their first new music since 2022 and the lead single from their second album, moisturizer, and it comes out swinging. Rhian Teasdale wrote it with bassist Ellis Durand after a night out that went the way too many nights out go: dancing in a tight circle of friends until some guy barges in trying to pick her up. Usually, she has said, she's conditioned to stay polite. That night she didn't, and the song keeps that energy.

Dan Carey produced it and Alan Moulder mixed it, and it's Wet Leg at their toughest: Henry Holmes' drums stomp, Durand's bass throbs, three guitars (Teasdale, Hester Chambers and Joshua Mobaraki) scrape and snarl, and Teasdale's delivery lands somewhere between a smirk and a shove. Pitchfork pegged it as a late-night brush-off aimed at pickup artists, which is about right.
