#9 Real Estate "Self Titled"




Bookmark Too Roads Indie Blog

There has been a popular genre of music rising in the year of 2009: a summer provoked, sunlit and carefree style of music. Whatever you want to call it, I'm just going to label it simply as "Beach Music", music that sparks that familiar desire to be baking in the sun with sand in you hair. Real Estate was introduced to me earlier this year with a single entitled "Black Lake", a lazy, muffled and nostalgic song about, in my belief, a lazy sunny day in the summer. I fell in love with the song and continued to keep my eye on them taking advantage of every single they put out for free (there were quite a few). Months after their first single was introduced, rumors of a full length were being thrown around and I could'nt have been more stoked. Finally a set date was established, in the polar opposite month of chilly November their cd that undeniably anticipates you for summer was dropped and found its way into my cd player very quickly. Just as their first single promised, the full-length stayed true to their style and not once is averted from the beachy feel they have formed. I am very excited and stoked to hear more from these guys.
