Just dirtied our fingernails digging up this little, twenty-four carat lovebegone lump of purest, primordial gypsy gold whilst marauding around dog-like and all-eared in the hottest, dustbowl backyard of the internet, namely the excellent blog belonging to equally excellent Half Machine Records. Anyone who’s had the dubious fortune of so much as craning their neck round the swinging doorframe of these pages in the last six months or so will be familiar with Real Estate and their breeze riding, yee-hawing cowboy-punk workouts and we’re gonna post about them ‘till the wheels fall off. Check out this nicely-done live video of your super unlikely heroes running through summer-holiday smashing gentle giant hit “Beach Comber” – some beautifully appropriate footage of a sun-ecstatic, sleepy big apple riverside setting the whole thing off perfectly.

Real Estate’s first UK single, “Fake Blues” gets a walkabout in the reigns of Half Machine on July 20th. Preorder here
