London duo Real Lies make a wordy, emotive, oddly talky form of dance music that hits a certain late-night sweet spot. In 2021, when they were getting ready to release their sophomore album Lad Ash, we made them a Stereogum Band To Watch. A few months ago, they released their Sinking Suburb EP. Now, Real Lies have teamed up with Irish dance producer Kettama for a new single called “Purple Hearts.”
