Free of gimmicks, pretense, and artifice, their tunes tapped into the insular, college-aged melancholia of the Clean or Yo La Tengo's soft summer-night pulsations, later moving into a markedly Go-Betweens-steeped phase on their more sophisticated 2011 album, Days. With third full-length Atlas, Real Estate grow even further into the sound they've been spinning for themselves, mellowing more while they become more nuanced in both playing and production. Beginning with \"Had to Hear,\" the band's sound is decidedly signature, based on chiming chords and lilting vocals from songwriter Martin Courtney, lead guitar from Matt Mondanile that wanders between psychedelic curiosity and airy punctuation, and the surefooted rhythm section of drummer Jackson Pollis and bassist Alex Bleeker. All these elements feel increasingly familiar and confident. Their songs have always resided somewhere between head-in-the-clouds lightheartedness and day-dreamy nostalgia, but the ten songs that make up Atlas seem more mature, more deliberate, and lacking some of the carefree naivet? of earlier work. \"Past Lives\" ruminates on the strange feelings of returning to the neighborhood streets where the narrator spent his youth, while \"Crime\" relates a relationship in peril to something more harrowing and malicious. The upbeat \"Talking Backwards\" folds some of the nostalgic melancholia into a gorgeously produced pop song about long-distance communication breakdowns as bright and straightforward as Luna in their prime. The album was recorded in part at Wilco's Chicago studio the Loft, and the production is less hazy and more suited to the band's increasingly clear-headed melodies and expanded sounds, filled out with understated organ and keys from Matt Kallman this time around. Even seemingly buffering tracks like the Mondanile-penned instrumental \"April's Song\" (more in line with his solo compositions for Ducktails) and the Yo La Tengo\/Galaxie 500-modeled \"How Might I Live,\" sung by bassist Bleeker, seem to have a considered place in the album's flow. The songs float by quickly, not giving all of their secrets away at first listen. As Real Estate continue to grow into their own vision of pop, they take their place in a history of classic American indie bands, falling naturally in line behind the groups that influenced them as they add to the conversation with each subsequent album. ~ Fred Thomas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP + MP3 DL Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Real Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42456575803590,"sku":"YY47AB-7Y6K-00","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/products\/Real-Estate-ATLAS_Fj0yv.jpg?v=1779544007"},{"product_id":"real-estate-real-estate-days-vinyl","title":"Real Estate - Days [Vinyl]","description":"Real Estate - Real Estate - Days [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 801390030512 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDays is a gorgeous suite of timelessly melodic, achingly melancholic pop songs and a delightfully confident follow-up to 2009’s exceptionally well-received eponymous debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP + MP3 DL Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Real Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43582317297862,"sku":"X2GXLE-QWFP-00","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/8085\/0374\/files\/Real-Estate--Days_H0ekN.jpg?v=1762273340"},{"product_id":"real-estate-the-main-thing-vinyl","title":"The Main Thing [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eRELEASE DATE: 02\/28\/2020\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP Standard LP is a standard gatefold LP jacket, printed inner sleeves, and black 2xLP vinyl.
