I bought this CD after hearing good things about Real Estate from several normally reliable sources. I did enjoy the instrumentals, but my appreciation of the other songs was greatly diminished by the murky and indistinct vocals, which sound as if they were recorded with the mic all the way across the room from the singer. To me it seems obvious how much better this music would be if only we could hear the singing better.

This is a very pleasant debut. It’s got jangly guitars such as you might hear in the Trashcan Sinatras, it’s got vocal harmonies such as you might hear in Dr. Dog or Grizzly Bear, and it’s got just a tinge of the darkness you might hear in The National. Very glad to have downloaded this, and I look forward to more.
