In honor of my weekend road trip to the Garden State, today’s song is from Real Estate, a band that also hails from the mean streets of suburban New Jersey. While it might be the worst band name ever for Google searching (next to Girls), Real Estate definitely has a Jersey ring to it. They’re from Ridgewood (that’s North Jersey for all you noobs), but with their “surf pop” sound and song titles like “Beach Comber” and “Atlantic City,” you’d probably guess they were from the Shore (not the Beach!). “Beach Comber” was the first single from their self-titled debut album that came out late last year on Woodsist Records, and while the whole album is pretty decent, this one is the obvious winner.
Free download from Stereogum.
Oh, and I’ll be at the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Morristown on Saturday if anyone’s around. Cheers!
