Real Estate sounds so simple. It’s a boundary-perfected and carefully aligned plot of land that someone will buy in calculated acreage. Per the sound, it evokes prairies, open fields, and summer music festivals. It’s carefully crafted pop, and I imagine myself at Bonnaroo amidst the effervescent outdoor atmosphere, indulging in the natural ambience, doing drugs that the real estate owners may not approve of, but would probably do themselves if they were in my shoes. If anything was summer music festival caliber, this is it.

Real Estate just released their third album, Atlas, and have a summer sprinkled with four months of tour dates. For most of us though, the best way to catch the sweet summer sounds of Real Estate in middle TN will be at Bonnaroo. Get to know them below with “Talking Backwards”, and the funny video for “Easy” directed by Tom Scharpling.
