Fans of the wet leg has been waiting for the new music of British Band since the group released its eponymous beginnings in 2022. But this wait is over; Wet Leg announced that they had a new complete arrival entitled Moisturizing creamAnd shared his first single, “Catch these fists”. It is an incredibly contagious rocky guitar radiance with all the frenzied playful and energetic boastfuls have long loved the group.
You will hear this in this week’s episode, plus a song by Sufjan Stevens before (but still quite famous) that he initially recorded for his 2015 album, Carrie and Lowell. We also have a breathtaking piece of Harpist Ashley Jackson, the extremely inventive point of view of the pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu on a theme of Radiohead, and a song which, according to Tom Huisenga de NPR, is “better than Xanax”.
But first, we open the show with quick follow -up of last week’s conversation on future changes at the South by Southwest Music Festival.

1. Play wet: “Catchez these fists”, from Moisturizing cream
