The funny thing about the debut from these Brooklynites is the time (November) in which it came out because everything about this album embodies an easy, summertime listen (don't mind the fact that one song is entitled "Snow Days"). Tracks here on this self-titled effort ooze a sublime feel by utilizing tinny guitars, lo-fi recording techniques, and simplistic instrumentations (including two instrumental tracks) that coexist with the echoey vocals/harmonies of main man Martin Courtney. While not breaking any grounds in a songwriting sense (lyrics, structure) Real Estate is a easy ride from start to finish all the while suggesting that perhaps less is more.
3.8/5.0
