Real Estate - Fake Blues 7" (2009)

With the current lo-fi scene getting more and more cluttered with bands who seem to channel their efforts into trying to sound like they don't give a shit its refreshing to hear a band like Real Estate come through. With their shimming surf guitars and reverb drenched production it's hard not to fire off all of the usual adjectives associated with clean summery pop music. There is definitely an overwhelmingly relaxed vibe to this music and it's not unlike some of the best stuff that the band Fuck made for Matador in the mid-to-late 90's. Highly reccomended stuff and I look forward to hearing the full length that is supposed to drop later this year.
