Real Estate – Days (2011)

Uz Days Dani Nisu Tu, Idu Tamo Negde Daleko...Sva Sreca...

Real Estate are a rock band that doesn't rock, because rocking would be too unchill. Instead, they lilt, shimmer, and drift. More reverb and they'd drown; more pep and they'd soundtrack commercials. They have a singer, but it's the guitars -- part garage-surf, part music box -- that tie the sound together. Oh, and they play with some precision now -- lame, but it makes them believable. Real Estate's gift is that they either don't overthink their melodies or they can't, and the simplicity contrasts with their steady, dreamy atmospherics: instant nostalgia for an angst-free generation.


New Jersey-based indie-pop outfit Real Estate will return with their sophomore LP Days on October 18th via their new label, Domino Records. The follow-up to their 2009 self-titled debut, the 10-track effort was recorded with producer Kevin McMahon (Titus Andronicus, The Walkmen) in upstate New York. Below, you can stream/download the album’s lead single, “It’s Real”. For those prefer to touch their music, physical copies of the single will be released on September 27th.
