There is a distinguished charm that Real Estate has captured musically since the beginning. Those twinkling guitar lines and modest lyrical prose has made them pop darlings of the 21st Century.

Many happy returns for the band as Daniel continues the band’s excellence in composing songs that are easy to listen to yet complex in nature. Launching the group into a breezy landscape of drifting melodies and timeless rhythms, “Somebody New” is Real Estate exactly as you would expect. Kudos goes into the production quality of the album from the start as everything experienced is crystal clear.

Martin Courtney’s vocal shyness comes out in “Haunted World” as back porch intimacy floats away and flirts into faux jam band territory. This song could play for an eternity and it would feel like the most comfortable soundtrack.

“Flowers inside my head,” the chorus to “Flowers” feels fleeting and a lucid daydream. Here we can escape from the doldrums of the day and create our own magic through interpretation. It also helps that allowing the band to simply be helps create this mythical moment.

Every song from “Market Street” to “Say No More” fuels from the glow of 1990s indie pop and psychedelic bedroom jams into a postmodern folkism that feels as vintage as it does fresh. Each song compliments each other in a way that is sincere, like a conversation with your best friend. If you need a perfect example of what Real Estate is, Daniel is it.
