The more I see of these two the more I'm convinced Rhian found Hester at the bottom of her garden under a toadstool where she was trying to tame a snail.

[@Spleemce]

I laughed out loud

[@chrisgraham3377]

Brilliant!!!!!

[@gzo313]

Would you like us to assign someone to tame your toadstool?

[@inside1283]

Reminds me of “Cassie” from skins

[@brunodiaz7614]

HAHAHAHA

[@FuManchu5ltr]

I wanna see The Chats do one of their songs. That would be a laugh and heaps of fun to hear. Would go off.

Not letting anxiety defeat them. Absolute legends for getting up there and for even just trying (massive respect for also being really good). More than I could do.

[@gilligan80]

What......

[@maxc1133]

I'm convinced these girls can only speak in ASMR

[@suburbanindie]

I think it's more Hester that's like that. I'm sure Rhian is just being a chameleon

[@andreasvonsinnen]

hester, you are never ever wasting anybodys time! you, rhian and the rest of the band brought us so much cool music, you've already made up for any time you might waste of anyone for the rest of your life!

[@rustyshenanigans1407]

I met them in Melbourne and they really do speak so softly and quietly. They’re so sweet, but my half deaf old ears were struggling. Hahaha

[@shrimpsquiggles]

I had to turn the volume up and strain to hear them in the car yesterday.

[@SRFairbanks9]

But didn't you want to turn the volume up anyway? 😂

[@IndigoIndustrial]

When my niece was very young she had a tiny high-pitched fairy voice that anyone over 40 could barely hear due to the pitch and tendency to lose the ability to hear those frequencies as we age. These two remind me a bit of that.

[@Cuzjudd]

She's so softly spoken. Beautiful and unnerving

[@sirfizz6518]

I've been a Chats fan for at least 3 years, and this cover is what got me interested in Wet Leg, just 4 months ago. Last Friday I saw them live. Absolutely worth it.

[@Jivolt]

Talking in harmony. Golden.

[@Structureel]

Hester's voice isn't perceived through ones ears, but rather filters through the ether, straight into one's amygdala where it proceeds to spark an understated joy.

[@edzielinski]

They look like they are having fun and really kicking it. I just enjoy them so much. 😊

[@NancyinNYC]

Hester & Rhian: the hyper-fun, super talented unpretentious rock stars we've been waiting for. Love ya!!!! And your performances here are terrific, too. Thanks!!!

[@gmantramp404]

Super talented 😂😂😂 Guitar skills??. Computer says NO

[@ShizzyIzzy1]

Their voices tickle the back of eyeballs

[@FreshmakerLP]

Wow I really loved both songs, and this interview was very endearing. Definitely expressed some sentiments that I feel a lot, re: being nervous and not wanting to waste peoples' time. Anxiety gang represent.

[@Tarzanmonkeyman005]

[@nialhoggarth4730]

such a good interview 🤣🤣🤣

[@musicmaster555]

I've been trying to figure out if Hester really is the quiet/delicate person she seems to be or if she's just putting it on. Either way just hearing her voice makes me want to hug a stuffed animal.

[@thes15channel75]

Where can I find lsd this good. Seriously.

[@dinosaursr]

Groovy cool.

[@rodniki14]

I wonder if, when the tape stops rolling, they use their real voices. Or perhaps, this is genuine, which would be real.

[@cruxofthecookie]

You rule, Hester.

[@MrMisuma]

Whenever they speak, I wanna speed up the video just a little and turn up the volume just a bit 😅

[@r3dux]

Decent cover & they seem nice, but it would have been better to interview the entire band rather than just the 'front-facing' girls who tend to be more focused on

[@wurble]

Why do the guys always get left out of interviews? Surely they're a 5 piece band now? I think it'd make for much better interviews to be fair. Rhian and Hester remind me of my school days and girls that basically developed their own language and inside jokes that no one else understood.

[@Stoneman180190]

I wanted to like it cuz I love Wet Leg but their cover had no energy in the vocals (except the drummer who was amazing) and it needs that aggression to be effective

[@tymetabooker]

LEN

[@andrewfaramphotography]

I love them but can someone tell me what the deal is with Hester? Is she on something? Nervous/anxious? Or something else? Because she’s lovely but her speaking cadence is so far from normal, I’m just interested to know

[@thecamlayton]

I think she's shy. She hides her face in some of their videos.

[@zTom_]

Probably just introverted/shy and soft spoken? :)

[@jeremymanson1781]

Rhian has said that even ten, eleven years ago at college Hester was very shy. Rhian also said that Hester has steely determination.

[@Chris-wq3pe]

Hester, you are lovely, can I buy you a cup of tea ?
