While Real Estate may be one of the more buzzed about bands in recent months, those that are trying to find them via a simple internet search might find themselves suddenly interested in buying some property, before they actually find their way to some information about the Brooklyn-via-New Jersey act. The young three-piece, who have spawned numerous side-projects, are among the new crop of lo-fi psychedelic rock bands that happily exist in an interesting gray area that attracts both jamband and indie-rock fans, with their laid back blend of jangly guitar, hazy day-glo vocals and the occasional stretched out jam in concert.
The band’s 2009 self-titled debut, recorded in the bedroom of a friend in their hometown of Ridgewood, New Jersey, seemed to perfectly distill the vibe of the suburbs, arriving at a sound that falls somewhere in between Yo La Tengo and The Shins. Earlier this month Real Estate released their highly anticipated sophomore album Days
Real Estate will kick off the U.S. leg of their current world tour tonight at Lincoln Hall in Chicago, IL, which wraps up with a tour-closing hometown gig at the Bowery Ballroom on November 23.
