Wet Leg have spoken about the use of humour in their lyrics as a coping mechanism, explaining it’s a “very human thing”Speaking to NME for our latest Big Read, Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale described how she uses humour in her lyrics.“I always try to dilute serious things with humour, I think,” Teasdale said. “So it only feels natural that if there’s a bit of humour in there, that would attach itself to something that’s maybe a bit sad.

I will always try and make light of things.”Talking about humour as a coping mechanism, Teasdale explains that “It’s a very human thing.

In films, there’ll always be light-hearted moments written into the script, like when they’re on their way to Mordor.”Speaking about new single ‘Angelica‘, Teasdale goes on to say it’s about “working your way through life in the world.

The world can feel a bit lost sometimes, but” – she stares off into the distance and pauses – “all who wander are not lost.”Elsewhere in the interview, the band talk supporting the likes of Idles and Sports Team at Brixton Academy, their love of Lord Of The Rings and why their friendship is stronger than ever.The duo are set to release their self-titled debut album on April 8 via Domino Records.
