Just grabbed my copy of the new Real Estate record from Ian over at Friendship Bracelet. Quality. Side A's got cuts from the session the dudes laid down a couple months back down in the WMUA studios, recorded by Gabe (of MYNDBLYNDRZ fame) and yours truly (but mostly Gabe). Side B's got jams from a WVKR in-studio. 10 tracks all in all, nary a repeated song.
Shit sounds really great and I'm happy this record exists. It's a combination of all sorts of things I love, namely college radio, jangly pop gems, and DIY packaging (piece of paper pasted on white record sleeve, beautiful).
The record's only available through the current Real Estate tour and I'm guessing it's gonna go quick. The band's making its way across the US of A over the next couple of months... tour dates are here.
Consolation prize if you can't pick up a copy of the record: the WMUA session is up right here. It's in lowly 128 kbps MP3 format, so grab that record if you can and enjoy the hi-fidelity. But you also get treated to a couple Ducktails songs, namely "Backyard," "House of Mirrors" and a totally wonky and wonderful run-through of "Pizza Time."
