EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Real Estate - Suburban Dogs + Fake Blues
It's only when you leave for the city that you realise what the suburbs have to offer. Real Estate's Martin Courtney (songwriter, vocals, guitar), Alex Beeker (bass) and Matthew Mondanile (guitar; also of Ducktails and Predator Vision) all hail from suburban New Jersey and their songs evoke the soft bliss of giving your formative, teenage years enough time to waste and beer upon which to glug. Joined now by suburban Massachusetts' Etienne Duguay on drums, the fact that Real Estate only ever sound like a gaggle of grown-up teenage pals is testament to the ease of carving out your own niche in a town that's the same as countless others across America. I grew up 3,500 miles away but can still recognise an appreciation of provincial stillness the instruments themselves seem to empathise with, guitars flitting in and out of song like the loose gabble of birds, drums moseying along at the rear. "Suburban dogs in love with their chains," Courtney sings - so apt, really. The version of "Fake Blues" here is re-worked for inclusion on a forthcoming full-length Woodsist are releasing, while "Suburban Dogs" is a demo for Real Estate's second record, out in, uh, the future! (through Mexican Summer). Both are fantastic.
