2.22 TU凸丨Only Real，这个英国男孩儿从90年代向你打招呼

2017-02-17 TU凸空间

Only Real，一个活跃于21世纪第二个十年的音乐人男孩儿，点进他的脸书主页，我觉得他生错了时代。

首先看到的是非常迷幻的，粉红色的封面图：

然后是 DVD 画质的头像：

再来看看他平时发的东西。

“在灰色的十月的星期三给大家分享一首新歌”。

果然是灰色的心情，配图都是这么愁眉苦脸。仍旧是一股浓浓的上世纪的谜之糊感。

点进链接，看看他在 Soundcloud 上其他单曲的配图吧，也许这张只是凑巧这样。然后我发现了这些：

嗯......

我关上了他的 Soundcloud，继续来看脸书动态。

接下来是一张和 Hinds 乐队在伦敦某处玩耍完之后的合照，还是同样的画风，大家来猜猜后排哪个白眼狼是他。

一张穿着复古球衣的照片：

一个好好的英国男孩，去法国演出时为了吸引观众，不惜穿上法国球衣，啧啧。

当然，球衣是复古款。

还接受了法国媒体的采访，但是这个配图......

朋友，你这个样子，穿多少件法国球衣都不顶用啊。

最后我去看了一下他的一支 MV《Get It On》，

无论是画幅、滤镜还是音乐本身，都让人的思绪回到那个穿开裆裤的年代。

发现原来头像就是在这里截出来的。

最后我终于找到了一张他的高清无码大图：

但他还是穿上了那件从90年代带来的条纹衬衫。

这么酷的男孩儿从上个世纪穿越过来和你打招呼，你难道不想去拥抱他吗？

Only Real, KEEP IT REAL!

此次yeRecords倾情呈现Only Real ，我们将会把这位25岁的伦敦自在说唱男孩带到你们的身边。

Only Real, otherwise known as Niall Galvin, is a 23-year-old from West London who mixes kitchen-sink rapping with spun-out guitar and synths to make upbeat, off-kilter pop music.

After growing up playing piano, Galvin first started writing songs aged 14 with a Spanish classical guitar - “the rappy, singing element was just something that came out of my mouth,” he says. The first tracks from Only Real appeared online towards the end of 2011 and swiftly caught the attention of talent managers. Galvin managed to fly over and work with Atlanta-based producer Ben Allen (Washed Out, Deerhunter, P Diddy) after signing to Virgin in November 2013, and released his debut album, Jerk at the End of the Line, in March.

Like the bumptious lovechild of Brian Wilson and Outkast’s Andre 3000. Galvin lays Mike Skinner-style rapped verses over jangling, garagey guitars and sparse, electronic beats.

But within Only Real’s blissed out, lo-fi pop there lies a mischievous heart of honest, narrative lyrics, which tell tales of blossoming romance (Daisychained), revelry (Blood Carpet) and youthful malaise (Can’t Get Happy) in a way that recalls Jamie T - but from the other side of the Thames. “I like to create those moments that will hit a certain nerve and really resonate with you, a few words that will trigger something,” he says of his lyric-writing.

Galvin didn’t start properly listening to music until his teens, (“I found it a bit intense to listen to. But when I understood the beauty of what it was I kind of got into it”) but cites his mother’s love of The Beach Boys as a major influence as well as American hip-hop. His enjoyment of Deerhunter led him to work with Allen and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Pogues and Yo La Tengo have all left their mark on Galvin’s debut album.
