{"product_id":"real-lies-we-will-annihilate-our-enemies","title":"Real Lies - We Will Annihilate Our Enemies","description":"The album is the start of a new chapter for Real Lies, whose misfortunes have conversely\ncemented their status as one of the UK’s most enduring electronic acts. A six-figure record\ndeal vetoed at the last minute, plunging them into years of existential inertia. A world tour\nwith Pet Shop Boys that never happened because their dancers needed too much time to\nget changed between songs. A global pandemic that broke out just as they were revving up\nto release their second album. The album is about taking the hand of someone you love intensely and running\nheadlong into the chaos and noise and grinding forces that dominate modern life. It follows\ngilded 2024 collaborations with Mall Grab, Kettama and Drain Gang’s YEAR0001 label.\n\nLyricist, Kevin Lee Kharas, and producer, Patrick King, created the record in their studio, hidden\naway under a railway bridge somewhere in London’s Zone 3. Three pictures stared down at\nthem from the walls throughout, including an image of a young Sasha Shulgin in the relief\nprint style of Che Guevara t-shirts sold at Camden Market, and a photo of an orbiter\nfairground ride in flight, taken sometime in the early 2000s. Kharas’ lyrical inspiration comes\nwhen he steps away from the tsunami of data flooding his consciousness and paces\nLondon’s rain-soaked streets late at night.\n\n“I wanted the songs on WWAOE to confront modern reality head-on, unflinching,” he\nexplains. “I didn’t want to whine about a lost past. I didn’t want nostalgia. I wanted to learn to\nlove the modern world, with all its horrors and futility.”","brand":"Tonal Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Limited Black LP","offer_id":50156030329110,"sku":"RMX-47901","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/e60f43d6d73456a68ef858788acdfa17.jpg?v=1750457177","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/real-lies-we-will-annihilate-our-enemies","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
