Real Estate: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@filmstaratease]

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Criminally underrated band. “Days” a 10/10 album.

[@librarypersonable]

Saw them in Sydney earlier this month, and they really do remind you of the beautiful things in everyday life.

[@5k33k]

Since I couldn't find em anywhere else, here are the names of the musicians Martin Courtney - Guitar/Vocals Alex Bleeker - Bass Matt Mondanile - Guitar Jackson Pollis - Percusion Jonah Maurer - Keyboards

[@Brambleiah]

How is it that every song they write is fucking amazing. I mean "Green Aisles" might be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard I think.

[@georgegrund6383]

they make reality seem ok.

[@erinsankin2076]

There is something really magical about this slightly dressed down version of Easy; maybe even sweeter than the CD version

[@jordanrowland2049]

These songs make me want to go home. At 31 years old, I'm not sure where that home is.

[@gabrielromanini]

Inside yourself

[@BryceinLimbo]

@@gabrielromanini Underrated comment on the internet.

[@ArcLight726]

I get that. These songs feels like going back to the neighborhood I grew up in after years of living out of state. Nostalgic. Simultaneously sweet and melancholic.

[@NINELAJESUS]

Home is where the hatred is.

[@deathchips926]

This is such a beautiful record, front to back. I had a girlfriend from Summit NJ which is not too far from Ridgewood. This is those warm summer nights, walking around the neighborhood amidst the fireflies. Suburban bliss.

[@jaesdff]

Municipality is such a sweet piece of music.

[@weirdbardward]

Real Estate: great proof that nerds can still rock.

[@weirdbardward]

@@Kat_Haus oh yeah, the Weez are up there with the rockingest nerds of all time.

[@briarb2156]

Nerds are the best rockers. Where have you been?

[@omalleyirl]

Green Aisles is such a great tune.

[@RobertJStewart10]

This is one of my favorite performances ever. I watch it almost every day.

[@indieotatv]

still, my friend?

[@weswally1]

Did you watch it today?

[@sn0wi0m64]

I understand

[@JKsnatchers]

Still in the New Year’s Eve?

[@zach7412]

I LOVE the way the bass just punches through the mix in the last chorus of Easy.

[@brew167]

Still watching in December 2019

[@JackFHerrera]

May 2024

[@katyunis5123]

[@MichaelIanJoiner]

Sunny day in Illinois means listening to Real Estate all day

[@mikeguydish382]

Sunny day real estate

[@JKsnatchers]

Sunny day in Mexico City 💖

[@hanzarmand]

Real Estate in Tiny Desk = Unreal sounds 💯

[@ippacholuk7317]

Liking the distinctive pop rock guitar sound. The tunes groove with such scenic chord progressions. Its as though Johnny Marr joined The Feelies in a good way.

[@kjmiztribe]

This might be the best live version of Easy

[@chris82589]

These guys are amazing. Seriously, people will still be talking about them in 10 years, or I sure hope so.

[@uhmareikuh]

chris82589 facts

[@JKsnatchers]

Me and myself are still into this band, after 10 years

[@mileshi8721]

[@DylanHughesPhotoVideo]

Getting close. Still talking about em... haha

[@vittoriomonticelli2742]

Yes, by now❤

[@faunoram]

the guitar tone, the economic style and taste ! amazing band !

[@stijnboeren3943]

Easy is the ultimate nostalgia song :]

[@MaskyMasky]

Favorite band.

[@condimentking414]

It's a good job the algoritm put this on my recommendations. Real Estate at their finest.

[@rickpeuser233]

Their music is fabulous! I love discovering (for me) new stuff!!!! Keep it going Gentlemen!

[@Dexxxtroyer]

Can't wait for their third album.

[@JKsnatchers]

Third album Atlas was incredible! Do you think the same?

[@JackFHerrera]

@@JKsnatchersI def thought so. Days and Atlas def their best records

[@MedelliaofmyEyes]

Love the dreamy sound

[@faunoram]

en esta época lo único que importa es la imagen estos señores, en cambio, demuestran que la imagen no es NADA lo que importa es la esencia y en este caso su música brillante y hermosa !!

[@buddha4242]

chillest melon-feelin music ever

[@adims654]

good to see Jeff Goldblum is pursuing his music career

[@timperry8961]

shame about the lack of harmonies. One of the things that makes their music so great!

[@RazrHack]

I LOVE the way the bass just punches through the mix in the last chorus of Easy. (repost thanks to Google+ once again signing me into my other account... fucks sake)

[@rocketrictic]

been waiting for this, aaaa so lovely.

[@TheMarbleIndex3000]

I always thought the first line in Green Aisles was "under dormitories" haha

[@ApriFoat]

Hi Ducktales

[@oneminutetraveling9849]

Martin and his guitar were like best buddies they havent met for years, cuddling each other and talking about the beatles

[@josehernandez-uf3cy]

These guys make me want to sleep, but their music is great.

[@eddie14886]

i

[@acarebear420]

because these guys are above him

[@daysofhalcyon]

vocals like Ira Kaplan.

[@jorgealbertobaron1]

GREAT GROUP

[@sbulax211]

this makes me want to go thrift shopping and complain about Starbucks coffee, still great though.

[@keithdaniels5881]

Came here looking for Sunny Day Real Estate.....

[@LoHarryGirl]

martin courtney. sigh :>

[@Teona.aka.Maria.Tureschi]

Wonderful.

[@paulwallpd]

Yus.

[@Jwelli19]

These Goldblum types have a groovy sound

[@TheNativesamurai]

What kind of hollow body guitar is Martin playing?

[@buckrogez87]

It's a gibson of some sort [Sorry i cant help with further identification] But Real estate own Guitars straight out of my fantasies what the fuck!!!!!!!!!! Jazz masters.... Fenders for days really....

[@lordfarquad420]

Gibson ES-175 probably vintage too doesn't look too new and of course alex on fender mustang bass matt on fender jazzmaster jonah on roland juno-d kurt cobain on snare

[@evandenisiu2344]

Donovan Foster gibson es-175

[@AaronBowman]

What made you think of this

[@randmiller88]

The Gaming Historian on lead vocals!

[@AraMediaLuna]

nice

[@CarlosGLeonIb]

Ohh, you're right. It's almost like i can hear a Smithyyy voice

[@heavychestmusic]

what about em

[@TheBluv12]

Nice stuff. Vocally, sounds very 90s (E.Smith, Cobain, Oasis-ish)

[@DBTT2005]

Lol I get 2/3...Cobain? He was shit.

[@deadheaders86]

School of Rock, antidepressants, adderall, ambien, and bariatric surgery really changed music.

[@tnymont77]

Our careless lifestyles, it was not, so unwise. :)

[@Mustardette]

deffo laconic.

[@Harpking0911]

goldblum types??

[@Magnawulf]

No one even looks like Jeff Goldblum o_O

[@jacksonreed9]

dolphin tone

[@Brambleiah]

bromancing the stone

[@mikebaal]

Music for people who are dead inside.

[@CaptainSandwitch]

but I feel so alive

[@mikebaal]

Colin Lamppost Like the P.O.D. song?

[@breecef8174]

HAHA HARSH xD

[@nathanwind8455]

im too alive! i need this music to bring me down

[@ironbird7093]

good thing or bad thing? there music gives me the feels

[@leroymane]

[@unknowntosociety01]

Criminal that low views

[@cldmendoza]

[@eP0tt]

its almost funny how much they really neglect the drummer.

[@pdxviastl]

Not so much

[@mattskate111]

Beach fossils

[@saltemann3581]

shame they metooed out the guitarist, he was integral to the sound and feel of the band

[@diamondssd1]

What happened exactly? I enjoyed his leads so much. Its a shame he really brought everything together. Hopefully the new guy can keep the same vibe going

[@michaelskurski912]

​@@diamondssd1nope

[@NC-vs7nw]

ew matt mondanile is a creep through and through. julian is a better musician they are better off with their new guitarist

[@anotherone5415]

@@NC-vs7nwhow is he a creep? Julian has a good technique but he lacks passion. Watched him 1st time and though “maybe was a bad night”, the next show? The same, looking like sleeping and playing. Again, he’s talented but he can’t bring what Mondanile did

[@noodles4573]

man, days was a really good album. it's a total bummer that atlas wasn't..

[@ashwinprasanna1662]

atlas is great!

[@JKsnatchers]

Atlas saved my life when I was 23 🥺
