Last Friday, at Brooklyn's Williamsburg Music Hall, Real Estate played a show and a couple of fans were there on the scene to film the night's performance. The song is "Fake Blues" and you can download it below. DWNLD
Given that I've listened to Real Estate about 50 times in the past six weeks, you'd think I would have managed a write up by now. Well, as luck would have it, you'd be wrong. (To be fair, you'd be "wrong" about something which you had no intention of or reason to be thinking about. Which is silly. Never mind, this is anti-thought.)

Damn, I really love this album. It's perfect to have on during those quiet relaxing nights at home. Tonight I'll just lay back, turn on some Real Estate, drift off into a peaceful sleep and see where my dreams will take me. I feel like Real Estate's self titled was probably 2009's most underrated album. Well, maybe not underrated, but definitely unnoticed.

Real Estate , whose debut UK single is out today have been interviewed on Pitchfork for their Rising section, where they said things like " Real Estate specialize in hazy, shimmery summertime pop music. Rather than using tape hiss as a punk affectation, Real Estate's muffled sound lends their songs a dreamy, faraway oldies radio feeling. Their songs don't bash, they unwind gently" Pitchfork - Rising There was also a couple of lines in the Sunday Times Culture's Hottest Downloads section this week- Sunday Times Culture [...]
