Real Lies have returned with a new track released today on their own Unreal label and what sounds like a new direction; you can listen above.
The band claim the new track is "less Pet Shop Boys, more British Murder Boys”, to which we’d add that it’s also more Underworld and Vince Clarke remixing the Happy Mondays than Bass-o-matic.
“The Checks is a list of questions arriving in a mind that knows it should be leaving,” explained lyricist
Kev Kharas, who forms Real Lies alongside Tom Watson and Patrick King. “It was written on
the streets of London on a hot summer’s night that was as lonely as it was euphoric.”
