Killing myself brb
>If you don’t already love Wet Leg, chances are their swift rise and self-deprecation induce a particular kind of cynicism. Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers arrived fully formed with the kind of infernally catchy indie rock hit not heard since the days of Franz Ferdinand and were instantly everywhere: played to death on British alternative radio; on Jools Holland and late-night U.S. talk shows; the subject of approving texts from your dad. They repel seriousness, claiming they only started the band for fun—on top of a Ferris wheel at a music festival, no less—and their songs mean next to nothing. Apparently they barely had time to meet their future label, Domino, because they were too busy “rolling around in the grass doing teddy bear rolls with the guitars.” Their lyrics cringe with embarrassment on behalf of anyone deluded enough to be in a band, with their warm beer and crap patter and arty parties
Its almost like the author has been in our threads...
Hi, Laura!
ugh, nothing worse than artists being embarrassed about their work in the name of "self-awarenes". just stop doing music if it's cringe or something dumb zoomers
She was seething over the songs Too Late Now and Oh No. Her seethe sounded eerily similar to an user seething yesterday about the "internet and cellphone" lyrics. Needless to say I BTFO Laura's, I mean anons, critique yesterday. So it seems it made Laura Sneethe even more and drop the score by a whole 1.8 points.
>dumb zoomers
Heh shows how much you know. No zoomer is 29 years old.
even more pathetic to be pushing 30 and doing this shit
Giving up your dreams before 35 is much sadder.
Thank GOD this landfill indie shit is over.
I WAS THERE IN 2006-2009 I CAN'T TAKE THIS FUCKING SHIT ASS INDIE BANDS ANYMORE.
Pitchfork seething because they called out woke faggots in Oh No. It's that simple. FUCK MILLENIALS
is it really your dream if you write songs about how corny it is to be in a band and give off the general aura that you don't care about it?
Oh. No. I thought you meant the general idea of pursuing music as a career after 30. My bad.
nice trips bro
Laura Sneethe. She has internalized her misogyny and can't stand that two women her age are successful musicians. Laura Sneethe seethes and sneeds because Wet Leg had the balls to mock "woke" people. Oh no. Laura Sneethe.
here come the domino interns
That's not the cope, retard. The cope is that Domino and Pitchfork saw the threads yesterday and decided a low score would be what's needed to convince people Wet Leg aren't industry plants.
You're glowing.
unfathomably based. Never change schizoposter.
well i'm not convinced. laura didn't even touch on the dirt when she even wrote herself an opening to expose it all. so maybe you're right. i'm only glowing because i got bright ideas, you lovable schizo. never change.
>i'm only glowing because i got bright ideas
Okay, Based.
>laura didn't even touch on the dirt when she even wrote herself an opening to expose it all.
The first paragraph in her review feels so out of place.
My guess is she gave it personal 5 and wrote about the dirt. Eriters room tally brought the final 7.2 score and she was told to pull her head in by the editor.
But this is actually the best album of the year so far.
It's her veiled attempt at acknowledging the shit-flinging we had on Yea Forums. She's a woman so she's too scared to openly admit she browses Yea Forums. She probably thinks she would get cancelled if she admitted that. I mean you saw how offended she got by the lyric
>You're so woke
>Diet Coke
>Oh no
She seems to be very ambivalent about it. She like absurd and wry lyrics. But she also hates them at the same time. She also threw a fit over lyrical references to cellphones and the internet. Her review is just all over the place. It's hard to tell if she liked it or if she is mocking Wet Leg for their style.
The only things that have released are this and a bcnr album. What a slow year.
>Her review is just all over the place
This. There's no structure. The article feels like it ends in the middle of a statement, too. There's no real conclusion.
laura has to be approaching 40, right? that's why she probably hates the cell phone references. i think most people would be fine with the "you're so woke" mockery, but as lyrical content it's just lazy. if that's what she means by that crit, i get it. if she's 'offended' that's fucking retarded.
>She probably thinks she would get cancelled if she admitted that
She would. Normies think this is a Nazi website.
No she looks to be 25, 29 max.
I don't know if that's true. Maybe for a certain subset of millenials. Zoomers get exposed to Yea Forums in small doses on the dumb greentext youtube videos that get tens of millions of views and seem to understand Yea Forums is not one person, interest or political view.
i thought she was writing reviews back in 2013-14, if so, she would have to be older than that.
i honestly like the opening track. the rest of it can be skipped
I've told random people in my friend group that I browse Yea Forums. I got cancelled. I'm no longer invited to the BBQs...
For what it is the album is not bad at all. Nowadays this board has a lot of users with a kneejerk BAD reaction to anything that might be popular.
Zoomers are actually pretty accepting and becoming anti-woke. It's the late 20s to early 30 something white liberals you gotta watch out for.
Very few people here hat the music. It's the rise to fame that we question. We like authenticity, and these girls don't seem too authentic.
Weird. I tell people I browse here all the time. It's plastered on my spotify. I've told past girlfriends. Sometimes they think It's weird but no-one has ever accused me of being a nazi. If they know you well at all they won't jump to that conclusion. Unless you are one I guess.
She graduated high school in 2007. Let's assume she was 18 in 2007. That makes her about 33.
that makes a lot more sense than 25.
They seem authentic to me. I think it's more that some soundcloud rappers on here are mad Wet Leg got the big break and overwhelming support from Domino instead of them. It's just sour grapes mostly. Like are you really mad that a record company is trying to market one of their artists?
that's not it at all, and it was all covered in the thread yesterday. they pretend that they're indie and whimsically accidentally got fame, but they have never admitted their CAA representation, playing the Oscars, having big money behind them from day 1, etc. that's the opposite of authentic. no one would care if they said they believed in their songs so they went out and paid for their team with their money, parents money, etc.
It's more the management team behind the band and the girls early solo recordings with established (and expensive) producers that makes people uneasy. They were represented by a big Hollywood management firm before they even got signed. Fishy fishy.
>I think it's more that some soundcloud rappers on here are mad
Soundcloud rappers aren't generally smart enough to turn on a computer and post on Yea Forums so I doubt any of them are here.
Just hang out with zoomer arthoes/artbroes. Panchiko gets 200,000+ monthly listeners on spotify and they openly advertise their connection to this board on their band page. Yea Forums memes are all over tiktok. This place is pretty normalised amongst alt young people.
the most glowing post on the entire board. whats it like being a record company intern?
I've criticized Israel's treatment of Palestine. That makes me a Nazi.
(I'm American, btw. Liberals here are still brainwashed on Zionism)
muh lost tapes samefagging panchiko?
wow the trolling today is getting too much
The truth of that story isn't the point I'm making here, just that being associated with Yea Forums isn't social suicide or considered a 'cancellable activity' by young people.
>SoundCloud rappers come to Yea Forums
If that was true, they'd be shitting up this board with constant shilling. SoundCloud rappers don't come here. I hope our boss reads this and fires you, intern.
Name one band in an interview who makes of point of saying "this company is publicity company please make sure this is in the interview". Stop acting like they are trying to hide it. That's not a normal fucking interview question.
>Hi, so who's your publicity agent? The public needs to know this otherwise they will think you are industry plants.
Jesus fucking christ. If they were trying to hide it, how did some cheeto-dusted NEET on Yea Forums find it?
Do you have info that disproves the bandcamp article?
>represented by a big Hollywood management firm before they even got signed
Nobody every established this timeline. Nobody every proved CAA was representing them before November 2020.
SeeEven the reviewer says these girls are sus.
do you have proof of alien life flying UFOs?
And they signed to Domino in June of 2021. Thanks, intern.
>particular kind of cynicism
She's talking about conspiracy nuts like /pol/cels. She just said in a very polite and British way that your Burger mind can't grasp.
No they signed to Domino in November of 2020. Read The Guardian article on the band. Thanks retard.
Cope
>Release date of first single is the same as the date you sign with a record company
How retarded are you? It takes 5 seconds of googling to found out they signed with Domino in November of 2020.
>Nobody every proved CAA was representing them before November 2020.
I'm manifesting that reality as we speak. Dubs and CAA represented them before they signed to Domino
In my country you would probably get called a fascist for supporting israel desu.
Laura a cute!
don't be fucking dense. they were acting like they accidentally got famous and this whole thing was a lark. you don't have to specifically name your agency, retard. but it goes a long way to say that they are going for it because they believe in their music. bands do often say that, and people don't think anything twice about it.story.
one of their agents works for CAA. the other is the Head of Global Music at their agency. other bands at this level on their agency's roster do not have representation of this caliber, just regular agents. it was proven in yesterday's thread. they played a fucking CAA invite only Oscar's party, come on.
>Read The Guardian
the most woke lefty lgbtq roastie agenda supporting rag in the english speaking world. you may as well quote the rightwing murdoch press instead. same shit

Show me your source.
>you’re so woke, Diet Coke
It’s honestly just a throwaway line. They aren’t calling for Jews to be hung in the street, unfortunately.
>Jesus fucking christ. If they were trying to hide it, how did some cheeto-dusted NEET on Yea Forums find it?
Because it's easy for a NEET to find this shit. Google "CAA Wet Leg" and there's articles from Vanity Fair, etc saying they played the Oscar party.
People like Wet Leg, Domino, and their agencies bank on normie morons to not care or be curious at all and hoping Wet Leg will be too omnipresent in time for anyone to care, much like Clairo. Wet Leg is safe and marketable for Domino, and if they already got money behind them, even better for Domino. We still have not uncovered exactly who Wet Leg's parents are, because its apparent they are coming from a wealthy background.
That's when it was announced, not when the contracts were signed.
wet leg are based but clearly a singles band
