Cheeky! Wet Leg’s upcoming Ur Mum video sneaks in Isle of Wight in-joke: Can you spot it?

Having just completed their US tour, Isle of Wight’s hottest band of the moment, Wet Leg, are about to set off on their European tour.

Ste your clocks for 6pm Monday because that’s when the next single, titled Ur Mum, is released.

We’re loving the trailer for its release, which comes just a few days before the debut album on Friday.

Set in Angelica’s supermarket (see the reference), the video sees Rhian on the till and Hester stacking shelves.

Isle of White gag
Looking amazing once again with great outfits, the video also features a front page of The Village Press with the ace headline, ‘Record breaking longest and loudest scream ever recorded by Isle of White locals’.

Knowing the band’s sense of humour, we suspect the typo of White for Wight was intentional, and should enrage the pedants.

The music video premieres at 6pm on Monday 4th April on Wet Leg’s YouTube.

Wet Leg’s debut album
Their debut album, Wet Leg, comes out on 8th April 2022 on Domino Records.

You can preorder your copy directly from the band’s Website or locally through Ventnor Exchange or AAA Records in Newport.

Love Wet Leg. Bestest new band in years. Angelica is my favourite song; such a psychedelic masterpiece. Enjoy them all day long all day long

I’m fairly certain that there were some miserable old gits who said the same about The Beatles.

And Queen.
And The Rolling Stones.
And Bowie.
And that young Presley boy will never come to anything.

Comparing Wet Leg to the names you have listed VL proves you do have a sense of humour after all

A good band for the main part but no depth of experience. Good videos but suddenly they are touring America (although some know what that means actually) and having watched ‘UR MUM’ it appears they are about to make the same mistake of so many previously, believing in their own publicity. Take a break, come back to the Island, write, rehearse yourself stupid, tighten up completely, knuckle… Read more »

That hot take is brought to you by music industry expert and unofficial member of Wet Leg, five4three2one. On a provincial news site. In the comments. I’m sure you know what’s best five4three2one, but how about we just let them get on with what THEY want? And without YOUR judgement?

Much as I enjoy the quirky fun of the music and videos, I can’t imagine for a moment that I’d go to see a Wet Leg gig. But I’m not really the target demographic! Do I care about their success? Only in so much as I’m delighted that some local youngsters seem to be enjoying some success in life and spreading a little cheer as they do… Read more »
