Real Estate – Black Lake
Since hearing this band on KXLU the other day while driving on an uncharacteristically low traffic day in Los Angeles, I’ve been addicted to their lo-fi indie pop rhythms. Real Estate hails from New Jersey, and reminds me of a cross between the Velvet Underground and American Analog Set, or more specifically, what the grandkids of the VU and the AMANSET’s cousins would sound like playing in a suburban cul-de-sac ’round about midnight.
