Real Lies’ music expresses late-night euphoria at the same time as it embraces the horrors of the following afternoon, twinning street bravado with bedroom vulnerability, loss with longing. It is music about burying yourself in an avalanche of words and warm bodies in an endless search for the right ones.

Quickly heralded as a brave new voice in electronic pop, North London based Real Lies are embodying what it is like to be young, locked in and yet somehow adrift in Britain today.
