Endearments announce themselves as a band to watch with Real Deal, a guitar driven indie rock cut that balances emotional weight with undeniable momentum. Rooted in early 2000s indie and emo textures, the song builds patiently before crashing into a chorus that feels both vulnerable and defiant. Lyrically, it captures the slow realization of being reduced to a supporting role in someone else’s romantic narrative. The layered guitars and subtle synths add depth without clutter, making the track feel intimate, expansive, and painfully relatable in the best way.
