My mom loves Real Estate, but she thinks you have a stupid band name, maybe because she also works as a realtor among many other jobs. Mac DeMarco & Matt Mondanile of Real Estate are actually pals though. He’s pretty cool, but I still missed you. While you were gone I started listening to Mac DeMarco, your slightly edgier college radio cousin. You were always one step ahead of my so-called suburban life putting things in perspective and providing a comforting dose of home whenever I was away. Those were the days.īut you took the high road and I took the low road, and you left New Jersey before me. The days when I smothered feelings of anxiety with someone else’s nostalgia by listening to Real Estate. The days when I would listen to Days incessantly. The days when we made it through all the green lights without hitting a red on the Martinsville strip were even better. The days when it was warm enough to drive home with the windows down were the best days. 287 to and from school, just me and you blasting on the stereo. The year I’d spend 22 minutes each day jersey sliding down Rt. I haven’t heard from you since 2011, the fall of my senior year in high school. I love both of you more than I could ever love Atlas, so there’s that. But before I do that I’d like to say happy birthday to my mom and hi to Ben Goldberg. In the spirit of reviewing reviews, my ongoing love affair with New Jersey bands, and diversity of opinion here at WRMC, I thought I’d give my opinion of Real Estate’s new album.
