I wanted to start a band called Real Estate but it looks as though I've been beaten to the punch.... Bummer. So, first off Real Estate is a great name for a band!!! A really great name!!! Secondly, Real Estate are a great band that are more than worthy of such a classy title. A-side 'Fake Blues' is a twisted little country number that sounds like it was recorded at Dub Narcotic studios. The room reverb perfectly accommodates the bands and vocal melody is super sweet. Real simple country folk song that I'm totally beaming off. B-side 'Pool Swimmers' is a loose groove with a Pavement-esque bassline and another great vocal line, reminds me of Yo La Tengo if they were into psychedelic tropicalia. I know i'm beginning to sound like some kind of Woodsist P.R machine but this is a really good single, check it out yo!!!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
‘Fake Blues’ is the sound of a young band jamming along to Yo La Tengo,
The Clean, Galaxie 500 and Grateful Dead VHS’ from the ‘80’s in their
parents basements (literally). Whilst exclusive, UK only b-side ‘Green
River’ is the sound of Credence swapping their swamp rock for The
Embarrassment-esque lo-fi pop.
Real Estate release their debut album on US indie Woodsist (early home of the Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, Wavves, etc) soon.
