So here at D.I.D., we’re huge supporters of Real Estate. Their tunes are so dreamy, and the release of their full-length album has hijacked my week. This album is so easy to listen to on repeat, and almost demands it, each time different subtle nuances rise to the surface. There is a familiarity within their sound for me, that makes it feel more like coming home than exploring a new album. Though they’re often described as surfy-beach-rock, there is a tinge of melancholy to a lot of their songs, which I think makes it all the more accessible. This brand of sincere rock makes it nearly impossible not to fall in love with these boys (and it doesn’t hurt that they put on a damn good live show). I see myself riding the wave for a long, long time. “Beach Comber” is the easily accessible first date, and “Atlantic City” is the addictive instrumental that will convince you to accept their proposal. They’re on tour right now, so catch ‘em while you can!
