I bought this CD after hearing good things about Real Estate from several normally reliable sources. I did enjoy the instrumentals, but my appreciation of the other songs was greatly diminished by the murky and indistinct vocals, which sound as if they were recorded with the mic all the way across the room from the singer. To me it seems obvious how much better this music would be if only we could hear the singing better.

Just discovering the pleasures of this great album. There’s a surprising intensity and happy urgency for what seemingly appears to be just another jangly semi-low-fi-indie album. Forget all the labels and categories, put aside a small part of your day, and let Real Estate’s pleasurable music usher in your Spring/Summer of 2010. Joyful stuff !!

Real Estate brings a sound that should be familiar to indie rock fans, but it never really feels old. Definitely a band to watch out for in the future.

Another one of my favorite Indie-releases of the year, Real Estate’s debut album draws on indie greats Yo La Tengo, early Shins, and other not-quite-lo-fi masters. A relaxing and rewarding listen, Real Estate glides and caresses the listener while describing the fate of the suburban dwellers, (two tracks with Suburban in the title), with lyrics such as “the suburban dogs are in love with their chains.” The most upbeat the albums gets is only a brisk walk, “Beach Comber” being one of my favorites, but the pleasantries of the album leave the listener satisfied instead of waiting for more…unless of course if by more you mean their next album.

This is a very pleasant debut. It’s got jangly guitars such as you might hear in the Trashcan Sinatras, it’s got vocal harmonies such as you might hear in Dr. Dog or Grizzly Bear, and it’s got just a tinge of the darkness you might hear in The National. Very glad to have downloaded this, and I look forward to more.
