Globetrotting Isle of Wight indie band, Wet Leg, have released their fourth single — "Oh No" — accompanied by a video filmed at the foot of the Alum Bay chair lift.
Fronted by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, the group broke through the glass ceiling in the summer of 2021 when debut single Chaise Longue went viral.
Since then they have clocked up more than 20 million streams and 4.5 million views on YouTube.

In addition, they were recently ranked number two in BBC's Sound Of 2022 list and have been nominated for five Bandlab NME Awards, with winners announced on March 2.
The video for “Oh No” was self-directed, with Rhian explaining:
“It’s been a pretty wild ride for us these past few months, we never really thought much past actually making music and playing gigs.
"It's quite an odd thing to suddenly open yourself to so much criticism and praise alike. The comments that complete strangers will leave on our videos are so funny and range wildly in sentiment.
"Although we know it is bad for us to read them and we try to avoid it, sometimes it’s irresistible when you’re on your own; the 3am doom scroll really gets you.
"For this video, we have obsessively selected our favourite bits from the comments sections across our socials — the good, the bad, the ugly — and have repurposed them to make something new. It has been quite cathartic actually.”
“The video was shot on the Isle of Wight, at the bottom of a chairlift that you can take from the top of the cliff.
"The rope costume — made by designer Kate Tabor — weighed an absolute tonne and took three of us to carry it down the cliff to shoot.
"We’d each grab onto a limb, and after 20 minutes of heavy lifting managed to get it down the steep steps leading to the beach. We’re thinking of starting it up as a work-out class for alternative types!”
Alongside the new video, Wet Leg have announced a run of instore gigs at UK record shops in London, Bristol, Nottingham and Birmingham around the release of their upcoming self-titled debut album.
"Wet Leg" the album is due for release on April 8 and available for pre-order on exclusive clear vinyl (with a 7” of two non-album tracks) via the band’s webstore, standard vinyl, cassette, CD and digitally.
A variety of merch is also available as a pre-order bundle.
