The Main Thing

by Real Estate

supported by

M C There are so many gems on here. Kick back, slow down, grab a drink and soak in the beauty of this record. Favorite track: Procession.

Mike Delejewski Real Estate's "Main Thing" is full off well-crafted lazy breezy jangles, perfect for summer outdoor listens. Another solid effort from the boys of Brooklyn.

Nicholas Kent This is one of those rare albums that lived surpassed the hype leading up to the release. This record has some of their catchiest (November) and most beautiful (Brother) tracks to date. I'll never get tired of this band. Favorite track: November.

about

Over the last decade, Real Estate have crafted warm yet meticulous pop-minded music, specialising in soaring melodies that are sentimentally evocative and unmistakably their own. The Main Thing dives even further into the musical dichotomies they’re known for—lilting, bright guitar lines set against emotionally nuanced lyrics, complex arrangements conveyed breezily— and what emerges is a superlative collection of interrogative songs as full of depth, strangeness and contradictions as they are lifting hooks.
