Wet Leg describes being “sucked into your phone” and having a boring night full of pizza, scrolling, Diet Coke, and f*cking zen. It captures the emptiness of the smart-phone induced haze that is characteristic of our post-modern age. A fun, simple song, it’s something you can listen to any time when you just want to yell “Ohhh noo”.

"You know when you’re having dinner with someone, and they check their phone, and just… go?"

— Rhian Teasdale via Paste Magazine

Rhian Teasdale:

"The amount of time and energy that I lose by doomscrolling is not OK. It’s not big and it’s not clever. This song is acknowledging that and also acknowledging this other world that you live in when you’re lost in your phone. When we first wrote this, it was just to fill enough time to play a festival that we’d been booked for when we didn’t have a full half-hour set. It used to be even more repetitive, and the lyrics used to be all the same the whole way through. When it came to recording it, we’re like, ‘We should probably write a few more lyrics,’ because when you’re playing stuff live, I think you can definitely get away with not having actual lyrics."
