Real Estate - Suburban Beverage
Live on the Radio | Underwater Peoples, 2010

Off to see Kurt Vile/ Sonic Boom/ Real Estate tomorrow night at Koko in London. It’s an NME thing, which I’ve never really read - I thought it was more of an outlet for landfill indie than American exports.

Anyway, I’ve been listening to Live on the Radio a lot lately, which sees Real Estate strip back songs from their first album for a campfire singalong vibe. ‘Suburban Beverage’s’ “Budweiser, Sprite, do you feel alright” becomes a beautiful mantra for slacking off, a feel that extends throughout this easygoing set. 

The record is out of print, but you can find the MP3s in the darker corners of the internet.
