Real Estate is an American rock band from Ridgewood, New Jersey, formed in 2009. The band is currently based in Brooklyn, New York, and currently consists of Martin Courtney, IV (vocals, guitar), Alex Bleeker (bass, vocals), Jackson Pollis (drums), Matt Kallman (keyboards) and Julian Lynch (guitar).
Real Estate helped usher in a warm, hazy style of indie rock that came into prominence in the late 2000s and the start of the 2010s. The band's breezy melodies, jangly guitars, relaxed vocals, and generally laid-back approach to songcraft hide musical complexities. Their fifth studio album, “The Main Thing,” was just released and features their first single, “Paper Cup” featuring Amelia Meath of Sylvan Esso.
