(The Rebel Group)
Real Ones are five childhood friends from Bergen, Norway. Adding psychedelic zest to a city that has already provided the likes of Royksopp, Annie and Kings of Convenience, here is a group that are more than deserving to be born from such an intimate, and acclaimed stable.
These close comrades who have played together since they were young teenagers, mould a magical kaleidoscope of sound. Having known each other for so many years, it should come as no surprise that despite Real Ones’ sound bouncing with tangents, it’s so precise and complete.
There’s the hearty, autumnal nature of warm folk, interspersed with a swirling psychedelic brood. Throw in a wave of cute three-part harmonies, and some devilishly intoxicating melodies to result in one fulfilling, head-spinning brew.
PRAISE FOR REAL ONES:
“If you'd like a piece of that richly melodic, psychedelic-tinged pop action, then check these crazy Bergen boys with their plaintive chord sequences and rhythmical approach to acoustic instrumentation. They've got it all, from tasty but plain fare (guitar, bass and banjo) to the spicy and exotic.” - Guardian UK
“Arm, hazy alt country merged with Eastern instrumentation. Hazy, uplifting loveliness.” - Music Week
“Gently psychedelic, folk-pop gem” - Sunday Express
“These Vikings are on a march - and they should be welcomed with open arms” - Mirror UK
“Real Ones turned out to be one of my favourite surprises of the week. These guys have world class talent.” - Brooklyn Vegan
“Real Ones gave a jaw-dropping performance” - New York Press
