Real Estate annoncerer kommende album med ny singleog video om egernet Chipper
I dag vender Real Estate tilbage med annonceringen af deres nyeste album The Main Thing, som udkommer den 28. februar 2020 på Domino Recordings / Playground Music i Norden.
På The Main Thing leverer bandet deres mest inspirerende og selvbevidste sange til dato, skrevet henover et år i Marcata Sound i Upstate New York. Kevin McMahon, der arbejdede med bandet på deres Days-album fra 2011, vender igen tilbage som producer, og for første gang nogensinde har Real Estate fået hjælp udefra i form af instrumentalister og gæsteoptrædener fra blandt andet Amelia Meath fra Sylvan Esso, hvis vokal er at finde på førstesinglen ’Paper Cup’.

På The Main Thing balancerer bandet eksistentielle-, miljømæssige- og politiske bekymringer med faderlige følelser og selvironiske tekster.
Efter at have haft premiere på Sirius XMU og BBC 6 i morges, udgiver Real Estate deres første single ’Paper Cup (feat. Sylvan Esso)’ sammen med en Nick Roney-instrueret musikvideo, der viser egernet Chippers sidste optræden i livet.

Om ‘Paper Cup’ og tilblivelsen af The Main Thing, fortæller Martin Courtney:
“Paper Cup is a song about getting older and realizing that this thing that I fell into doing over ten years ago - being a musician, writing songs, being a guy in a band - this may end up being my life’s work. Watching the people around me change and evolve, take on new challenges, and feeling sort of stuck in a rut, in a way. Feeling uncertain of the validity of being an artist in an age of climate change and general political and social unrest around the world.
It’s a song about questioning your chosen path in life and searching for meaning in what you do.
Those questions don’t really get resolved in this song, but ironically, the process of making this record - really diving deep and trying to make it the best thing we’ve ever made - reaffirmed in me, and I think in all of us in this band, why we are doing this.”
