  1. 10.0 |   The Arts Desk

    A remarkably coherent – if spectacularly diverse – body of work that’s as much a peek into your new best friend’s record collection as it is a shiny disc with one man’s name on the cove

Wet Leg  moisturizer

After winning multiple Grammys and Brits, the Isle of Wight band explore love and sexuality on their second LP – but there’s still room for some barbed put-downs The Guardian

The human touch is evident in how the instruments breathe together Northern Transmissions
