Real Estate celebrated their new album Daniel last night in Brooklyn with a show that only allowed people named Daniel to enter. Pretty funny idea @qrisg will get a kick out of because he’s been talking about doing a party for Chris’s.

Anyway, I used to be a huge fan of this band. Saw them on New Year’s Eve in Brooklyn I think 2018-2019 or 2017-2018 with my best friends from high school and we had an epic night. However, I can’t say that I love this album.

I don’t hate it either. It’s pleasant enough. But, from a band that basically kicked off this genre of mellow indie rock as we know it today, you would hope they would change up their sound a little bit as they age. It’s basically been the same for 6 albums now, with improvements in production coming along the way.

That’s my first impression and I would still catch them live if I had the chance because that reverb is really sick in the live setting…

Edit – the last song though  “You Are Here” is pretty sick, the outro jam is very wavy. Maybe this album will grow on me…
