A strictly limited edition 7” from Will Holland’s QSO, featuring the vocals of chanteuse extraordinaire, Alice Russell.

‘Something That’s Real’ boasts a raw funk rhythm section augmented by cooler-than-cool wah-wah guitar, gorgeous live strings and a fantastic horn section.

The title track reappears on the flipside in instrumental form. Stripped of Alice’s stunning vocal, its impossible to deny the technical excellence of this track; from Will Holland’s crisp, live-sounding production to his inspired arrangement and instrumentation.

Vinyl out of print. MP3 available.

“A fine example of why everybody is falling over themselves to get a Quantic remix right now. Utterly gorgeous funky wah thang with added strings, all dipped in honey”
Echoes

“Wicked – brilliantly evolved record that sounds completely natural”
Fink, Ninja Tune

“Proper modern soul – I’m dusting down my brogues now!”
Ashley Beedle, Xpress 2

“An excellent little tune from the mighty Quantic, whose records have been an increasing fixture in my set”
Mixmaster Morris

QSO sound so authentic and soulful. Holland is definitely the master of neo-rare groove!”
