Real Estate are releasing a new album , “In Mind” on March 17th via Domino Recordings . Previously the band shared the video for its first single and opening track, “Darling” Now the band has shared a funny little tutorial video to its webpage where they teach you how to play In Mind’s next single, “Stained Glass.” The catch is that there’s no sound to the video, the band want you to come up with your own version based on the video’s two guitar parts and keyboard notes. The band writes on Facebook: “We’d be psyched to hear your take, your version post it with #StainedGlassTutorial. Don’t worry about getting it right… make it your own.” The full song will be released next week. Check out the video below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.
In Mind is the band’s first album since guitarist Matt Mondanile left the lineup to focus on his project Ducktails. Julian Lynch (also from the band’s home state of New Jersey and a well-regarded solo artist in his own right) replaced him on tour and this is Real Estate’s first album with Lynch as a new full time member. The album is the follow-up to 2014’s widely acclaimed Atlas and was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Cole M.G.N. (Beck, Julia Holter).
Real Estate’s Martin Courtney also released a solo album in 2015, Many Moons.
