album two if you've got any chat on album two can we go there yet got any ideas if you started it
no [Laughter] [Music]
welcome wet leg it was a year ago you were last in total year ago it's gotten so quick hasn't
it thank you so much coming back in and doing the uh the session where do we start with the last 12
months has there been one standout moment for you since we last crossed paths well we just came back
from Japan and playing our first shows there which I just think that's the dreamiest thing ever like
that yeah people were listening to our music there and buy tickets to gigs and because yeah it's just
a really beautiful place that I don't think we would have well I wouldn't have been able to go
to I guess and I've heard that the live atmosphere when you play in Japan is just like nothing else
it must be so interesting to to play in all these different territories was it like that
wasn't really dreamy being out there it was super dreamy and it was like being in a dream because
you just don't really think when you start a band like that it will take you to Japan it was really
cool everyone was really happy the whole time and it was really nice what was a Glastonbury
moment like for you because some of the footage that I saw you looked so happy um sort of walking
up to the mic on one particular sort of shot that I saw seeing a sea of people like that and people
literally bringing Shades Longs into a crowd I mean uh level of detail there it must have
been quite confirming for you guys as artists I wouldn't say confirming um it was confusing
um I've only been to Glastonbury once like before playing and HC I don't think you went no that was
my first time because I loved it I can't really look at the crowd so much like that amount of
people is like just so overwhelming I don't want to like fumble on my guitar so I think I kind of
have to put like a a screen up it's when it's like that many people because it's just really
bizarre but yeah that was pretty cool that we got to play class room amazing we're gonna talk to you
as well about your Brit Awards uh success and your performance there as well is it lava yeah
how did you guys meet and how did that creative relationship start we met for the first time at
a festival in Portugal and they were playing with their Collective nine eight it happens to come to
our show which I think was our first show outside of the UK we all just hung out later that night
and stayed up very late getting up to no Goods swimming in the sea which wasn't a good sea to
swim in apparently and then where was the meeting when he decided about the Morris dancers and the
owls and stuff was that all Collective kind of meat when that all came together was that with
lava yeah that was over a few face times we'd broken up for Christmas so it was really really
nice to like have the time like you me and Elena our manager would be on calls together just kind
of like plotting and love is like such a good friend that of the band that we we um we just
kind of like started working it on it all together in terms of that production do you have any dreams
of what you'd like to do you know when the stages get bigger and the budgets get bigger I mean you
obviously you've always had this beautiful kind of vision with your aesthetic and your sort of
music videos and everything if you've got any dreams for the future of what you'd like to do
I don't know it was pretty nice being surrounded by all the plants wasn't it we just want to take
a garden there was a whole tree I love being under a tree yeah add it to the rider totally fine album
two if you've got any chat on album two can we go there yeah I've got any ideas if you started it
no when you were doing your debut you've often joked about your songs you know sort of like
how you suddenly sort of found them sort of catapulting onto these main stages around the
world carrying you around the world as well do you feel oppression now for album two I
mean that's all the media here have always gone it's a difficult second album which is probably
adding to that so sorry about that but no not at all I think we're all just really excited for the
second album when we started the band it was kind of just like me and Hester and now as you can see
by the like sessions today we've got our lovely bands of Ellis Joshua and Henry and I think we're
all really excited to like get more collaborative and write together and like we have been touring
for a while now so I think we're very ready to get cocooned and write more and just excited about it
really yeah yeah I'm sure the nerves will come like after it's done and we've put the lid on
it and being like this is it it's Manchester still I'm gonna get this wrong having a good
time all the time keeping that for album two did I get that right yeah all the time good times all
the time exactly on your Instagram like I'm from very near the Isle of Wight obviously
I'm from the mainland we used to stare at you from across the waters and on Instagram I see
you put up you know sort of the fires on the beach and stuff like that you know home time
have you had much time to do that recently or are you looking forward to doing that in the
near future yeah it's been raining every day for forever yeah but that's okay summertime barbecue
