VIDEO: It’s Real (Dir. by Weird Days)
VIDEO: Green Aisles (Take-Away Show)
Real Estate announces more North American dates in January in addition to their already announced show at Terminal 5 opening for Girls — in addition, the band will head to Australia and New Zealand in March. The band wraps up their 2011 touring with a brief run of 10 European dates.
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), 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.
