Only Real – ‘Backseat Kissers’

Only Real (20-year-old Niall Galvin) announced himself earlier in the year with the über infectious ‘Cadillac Girl’.

Returning with a brand new single ‘Backseat Kissers’, the young man from West London has nailed it again. ‘Backseat Kissers’, a tune about backseat fumblings, is a woozy, dreamy cut filled with all echoey vocals, lounging guitars with a real head nodding groove. It does, like some previous tracks, resemble what a love in between Jamie T and King Krule might sound like, never a bad thing surely?

‘Backseat Kissers’ is earmarked for release on the 10th of December through ASL. Check it & ‘Cadillac Girl’ below.

Introducing: Only Real | Delectable blend of hip hop and indie

Only Real is the handle of 20-year-old Niall Galvin, who from his West London bedroom produces some charming sounds, taking care of production, vocals, arrangement etc.

It is an usual but delectable blend of hip hop and guitar indie. ‘Cadillac Girl’ demonstrates this attitude best. It worms its way inside your head and refuses to leave, meandering around there with a lazy but catchy riff, steady drumbeat, rapping and a carefree hazy vocal drawl. There is a kind of Jamie T / King Krule thing going, and, I for one cannot get enough of it right now.

Only Real’s currently working in getting the live set-up sorted but for now I’ll happily make do with what he has to offer.
