Wet Leg Enlists Alice Longyu Gao for Surreal ‘Moisturizer’ Music Video

British indie sensation Wet Leg have enlisted hyperpop artist Alice Longyu Gao for the delightfully peculiar narrative of their music video for Moisturizer, a track that continues their streak of critical and commercial success. The video centres on a gigantic egg, weaving a surreal and imaginative storyline that departs from conventional music visuals, and further cements the band’s reputation for playful creativity and visual audacity.

Directed by Elliott Arndt, a frequent collaborator with Wet Leg’s tourmates Faux Real, the video showcases a quirky, dreamlike environment that complements the band’s offbeat humour and distinctive musical style. The interactions between the characters—particularly Gao and the band members—have captured the imagination of fans worldwide, generating widespread discussion and online buzz.

Fans’ excitement is compounded by the announcement of Wet Leg’s upcoming international tour. The band will first return to North America for a highly anticipated tour, before travelling to New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. Following these international dates, Wet Leg will perform at Coachella and continue their summer tour across Europe.
