Product Description
CD Description
`Days' is the much anticipated second album by New Jersey's Martin Courtney, Matt Mondanile and Alex Bleeker - known collectively as Real Estate.
A gorgeously melancholy, autumnal suite of understated pop songs bringing to mind the subtle majesty of fellow NJ outfit The Feelies, Felt and early REM, the group's first release for Domino is a perfect maturation of the promise suggested by their quietly adored eponymous debut in 2009.
Augmented exquisitely by bandmates Matt Mondanile and Alex Bleeker's intricate, gently psychedelic musicianship, singer Martin Courtney's economic yet vividly poetic imagery in exploring his obsessions (suburban youth, home, nature, loss) and yearning way with a hook establish `Days' as a great coming-of-age chronicle and himself as a truly important, distinctive voice in American songwriting today.

They Do Go On,

I can't make my mind up about this one. On first play, I really liked the album. Nice jangly songs with a solid pop hart. Then over the next few listens I started to get bored. Some of the songs are quite long and the riffs go on and on and on. I'm a big fan of this type of music, but I just felt that the songs had little substance and weren't that strong. However, having come back to the album after a few weeks, I've been enjoying it a lot more discovering some subtle depths to the arrangements and am generally becoming favourably inclined towards the NJ combo. Not a very useful review, I know. I'd definitely recommend a listen...or two...or even ten. They aren't going to change the world but they might leave a smile on your face.

Fantastic Timeless album,

What a great band Real Estate are. I heard 'It's Real' on the radio a couple of times, and was instantly hooked on its Beach Boys / Indie vibe, and I had to check them out.A few plays on Spotify and I was hooked - their first album is really good too, although the recording of that one is a bit too 'Lo-Fi' for my tastes. No such reservations on this second album though. Beautiful chiming guitars, blissed out vocals and great songs - what a cracker. Like I say, part mixture of the Beach Boys, The Smiths, Jonathon Richman and a cult favourite of mine, the Feelies. Give it a few plays and it will sneak into your psyche - key tracks: Easy, Its Real, Kinder Blumen and Such a Shame. However, the entire thing is great. One of the albums of the year - definitely recommended.
