Justin’s Top Ten Albums of 2011
7. Days by Real Estate
This is just a great jangly indie-pop record. The breath of fresh air here is that there isn’t anything too experimental about Days. It’s just a great collection of well written and well arranged songs. Though I had never heard Real Estate before Days, it was actually a very nostalgic album for me. It’s very reminiscent of back in 2000 when I first discovered WRUW and true “indie” rock. I would drive in the car with a pad and paper and when I heard a band I liked, I would actually sit in the car at my destination and wait to here what it was. This method is how I first discoverd We Have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes by Death Cab, Isolation Drills by Guided by Voices and other bands like The Sea and Cake, The Lucksmiths, J Mascis and more.
