New Jersey outfit Real Estate’s first record for Domino, Days, is out now. Today the band has shared their first music video from the album, for the lead single It’s Real, filmed in Ridgewood, New Jersey and directed by Weird Days. Watch it HERE.
Days was recorded over the course of five patient months in a remote New Paltz, NY barn-cum-studio with the help of Kevin McMahon (Titus Andronicus, The Walkmen), and is a coming of age moment for childhood friends Martin Courtney (Guitar and Vocals), Matt Mondanile (Guitar) and Alex Bleeker (Bass). A gorgeous suite of guitar-pop songs, Days is a testament to the fact that the sonic formula Real Estate developed and shared with their debut album (Real Estate, Woodsist 2009) heralded the arrival of a new, genuine and enduring group of voices in American independent music. Days sees the band tighten and refine their brand of timeless, melodic and genuine music – consolidating the breezy sketches of their earlier work into considered, graceful pop songs.
Real Estate played four UK live dates around the release of Days including a sold out co-headline show at the Garage in London, and are back to play the Scala in London on December 6th. Tickets are available HERE.
