REAL ESTATE

3rd October 2024

Real Estate helped usher in a warm, hazy style of indie rock that came into prominence in the late 2000s and continue to ply a similar sound, though with a more mature outlook. The band’s breezy melodies, jangly guitars, relaxed vocals, and generally laid-back approach to songcraft hid musical complexities on standout albums like 2014’s Atlas. As the years went on, their original lineup splintered and new songs explored getting older, parenthood, and a new wealth of topics, still delivered in the band’s reserved, mellow style on albums released in the 2020s like The Main Thing and Daniel.
