Real Estate band returns with new album 'Daniel' later this month

Indie rock mainstays Real Estate will release their new Daniel Tashian-produced record Daniel next month on February 23rd via Domino Recording Co. The band previously shared the album’s first single “Water Underground,” in tandem with a music video inspired by and made in collaboration with and featuring the stars of the beloved 1990s Nickelodeon sitcom The Adventures of Pete & Pete. Today Real Estate shares another taste of the forthcoming album with “Haunted World.”

Of the track, singer Martin Courtney says, “‘Haunted World’ sounds like a 90s sitcom theme to us. Network execs - this song is available and we are ready and willing to sell to the highest bidder. We’re super happy with how this one turned out. We had a nice arrangement worked out before we headed to Nashville to record, but it really came to life in the studio. Sometimes a song will surprise you like that."

Listen to the song and watch its visualizer now HERE.

Real Estate also announces that they will be playing a “Daniel-Only” album release show at Union Pool in New York on Feb. 22. Admission is free with RSVP but guests must have a first, middle or last name of Daniel (Dan, Danielle, Danny, Daniella, Danielson, etc)" to enter. Non-Daniel +1s are allowed. Space is limited; first come, first served. This show is in addition to the band’s extensive Spring North American tour, beginning March in Vancouver and running until May 26 in Atlanta. Get tickets HERE.

The sixth full-length from New Jersey natives Martin Courtney (vocals, guitar), Alex Bleeker (bass, vocals), Matt Kallman (keyboards), Julian Lynch (guitar) and Sammi Niss (drums), Daniel sports 11 new songs recorded with GRAMMY-winning producer Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) over nine days at RCA Studio A in Nashville.

In the city, Real Estate shared a rental, cutting up in close quarters after the imposition of separation of these last few years. Several days into recording, they were discussing album titles when someone suggested “Daniel,” simply because it seemed like a good idea to bestow a human name upon a record. Was it for Daniel Tashian? Maybe. Was it the sign of a band that has now been around long enough to take its music seriously without taking itself or its perception too seriously? Absolutely.

Daniel is available to pre-order on Mart edition baby blue vinyl with a 24x36” double-sided poster, indie edition silver vinyl, LP, CD and digitally. Dom Mart | Digital.
