British indie rock duo Wet Leg combine '90s rock nostalgia with a quirky, fresh visual in their performance of "Being in Love," the lead track from their self-titled 2022 debut album. The song encapsulates the giddy — and slightly sick — feeling of an exciting new relationship, and the band pairs that topic with grungy guitarwork and kaleidoscopic vocals.
In this episode of Global Spin, Wet Leg bandmates Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers give viewers a front row seat as they perform "Being in Love." The gritty guitar lines are matched by grainy '90s-inspired visuals, complete with a neon sign bearing the band's name behind them.
But if you're expecting a straight-ahead performance video, think again: There's a twist at the end of the clip.
As the song ends, the clip jumps to some place completely new, taking viewers to a windy outdoor setting. Pointed towards a walking path over a rocky embankment, the video shows a woman dressed in a draping, feathery white suit as she slowly strides into the distance.
"It's kinda nice to watch her, like, walking," someone behind the camera comments, amid some giggles from the people behind the scenes. "...Look how sad that is. Look at her."
While the video's final shot doesn't have the same nostalgia factor that Wet Leg embrace during their performance, it puts an equal emphasis on grainy, DIY grunge. It underscores the whimsical vibes that the band has brought to all of their musical endeavors since their 2021 breakout "Chaise Lounge" — a song that's also included on the track list of their self-titled debut.
