Suburban Ridgewood, N.J. isn't exactly the place most conducive to hazy surf-pop, but somehow Real Estate makes it shimmer like the ocean on a warm Santa Cruz day. After their 2009 eponymous debut met critical acclaim, including a Best New Music award from Pitchfork, the band began touring in support of indie-rock's emerging elite: Girls, Deerhunter, Kurt Vile and Woods. The band's sophomore release, Days, came out last year to yet more positive reaction, making them an interesting act to keep an eye on in the years to come.
