Fake Blues - Real Estate


I'm a bit late to the party on this one. Real Estate are already three records deep, but that's probably the best new I've heard all month. These guys pull off the sort of dreamy surf-pop that would come out of a collaboration between Beach-House and the Walkmen. Fake Blues came out back in 2009 as a part of their self titled LP. I think it might be one of the best tracks on the album, but that is by no means a qualifier for you to not check out the entire discography. The only complaint I have is that Real Estate will make you want to cruise with the windows down and summer is still a while off. These dreamy rockers are currently opening for Girls, so be on the lookout for a show near you!

Keep Me Waiting - Cymbals Eat Guitars


If you haven't heard Cymbals Eat Guitars yet, I highly suggest checking them out. Unfortunately for Cymbals, they've stayed pretty well under that radar so far, and the awesome weirdness that is their second LP isn't doing anything to push them into the limelight. However, that's the beauty of this band. They don't really aspire to be famous, they aspire to make music that they like. If ...And the Hazy Sea doesn't get you hooked immediately, try listening to the rest of the first LP. It's a beautiful mix of 90s indie-rock mixed with post 2000 prog-rock with a bit of noise mixed in. This is a cut off of their newest LP, Lenses Alien. The video is a bit ridiculous, but that doesn't mean you can't sit back and enjoy CEG in all of their awesomeness. If they ever come to your area, find a way to get to their show. Joseph D'Agostino and crew tear it up on stage and will blow you away with some intensely epic breakdowns.
