Real Lies' fearless plunge into the chaos of contemporary life comes in the form of a record about holding someone you love tightly while hurtling through modernity's noise and grind. Written by Kevin Lee Kharas and Patrick King in a hidden London Zone 3 studio, We Will Annihilate Our Enemies draws inspiration from rain-soaked streets, pop culture iconography and personal memory. Moving on from the introspective lockdown reflections of Lad Ash in 2022 to more bold, present-tense storytelling, this record celebrates romance, friendship and the natural world. How that manifests in sound is with lush melodies doused over rooted club rhythms - they variously oar, swell, impose and explode with indelible impact.
