I love how heavy and light this sounds at the same time – it satisfies my sometimes competing needs for a wall of sound and something quieter, possibly from Emily's parents' record collection.

Real Estate plays next Wednesday at Knitting Factory Brooklyn and hopefully mid-April in Seattle? In the mean time [Oops, I was wrong. The internet is so confusing.] Download their four-song Daytrotter session from last Summer here.
