Real Estate for me, at this particular moment, is the best band in all of indie-rockdom. Every single release has gotten better and better with each listen, and the release of their 2nd LP, Days, in the last month has reinforced everything I thought about the band over the last couple of years. They blend 60s surf guitar with 90s indie into a suburban inspired hazy mix that I find completely engrossing. Days (expect a review later this week) is one of the few records from this year that I could (and have) literally listen to again and again and again. This Saturday Real Estate are in Los Angeles playing at the Echoplex and you could have a chance to win tickets if you send an e-mail to michael[at]meltingpotblog.com by Friday at 12noon!!!
