REAL ESTATE

New Jersey’s Real Estate will released Days, their second album and first for Domino, on October 17th 2011. Consisting of Martin Courtney (Guitar and Vocals), Matt Mondanile (Guitar) and Alex Bleeker (Bass), 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).

After releasing their self-titled debut album in 2008, Days is a testament to the fact that the sonic formula Real Estate have developed has heralded the arrival of a new, genuine and enduring group of voices in American independent music. Days is greater than the sum of its parts, as defined by its ebullient moments as it is by its moments of restraint. Lyrically and melodically part of what makes Real Estate’s music so vital are the moments where the disarmingly simple is made unexpectedly profound.
