In Mind

Never the most hell-raising or fiercely innovative band on the scene, Real Estate nonetheless have made a name for themselves for simply sticking to one paradigm – that of bright and deliriously melodic indie-rock – and doing it with so much charm and skill that it would be churlish to criticise. Well hold the front page, they’re back again, and still doing that same old fabulous thing, with guitars never more rich in their jangly filigree nor harmonies more heavenly. Drifting along a continuum that starts with Big Star and takes in Teenage Fanclub and R.E.M. on the way, ‘In Mind’ remains the sonic equivalent of a cool drink of water on a sunny day.

Real Estate – In Mind. The new album, out March 17th.

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.

Real Estate have announced the release of new album In Mind coming out on the 17th of March via Domino. The news has been accompanied by the release of the new single and video ‘Darling’ which sees the band demonstrating their limited equestrianism skills and new line up including new guitarist Julian Lynch.

After a solo release from Martin Courtney and the departure of Matthew Mondanile, New Jersey indie rock treasures Real Estate have pulled together their fourth full-length, their first in 3 years.  Known for their sunny indie pop style, Real Estate make technical musicianship look easy.  From hazy 70s AM radio harmonies to jangly Byrds-era guitar tones, 2017 will see 11 new songs from the fellas,

The release with be the band’s first since the departure of Matt Mondanile last year to focus on his band Ducktails and Martin Courtney’s 2015 solo album Many Moons. The band have recently finished a short US tour but are expected to release new dates in support of the new album.
