Real Estate - "Paper Cup" music video

Calling all FNAF fans, calling all FNAF fans! We all missed this 3 years ago and we should be ashamed!

Of course it's not official FNAF media, but come on. It is also pretty much everything I've wanted out of a Fazbear Frights or Tales From the Pizzaplex story since forever. Just a fantastic video and a dang good song.

"Party time is all the time!"

Real Estate Bring New Music Home to a Sold-Out Webster Hall

Real Estate – Webster Hall – April 18, 2024

New Jersey natives Martin Courtney and Alex Bleeker have been producing upbeat, jangly melodies as Real Estate for more than a decade. Known for their breezy lamentations on suburbia, the band contributed original songs for the 2019 rom-com Plus One starring Jack Quaid and Maya Erskine. Their latest release, Daniel, continues their canon of cheery tunes with a country tinge, as it was recorded at the famed RCA Studio A in Nashville, Tenn. The suburban ennui transfers to a perfect soundtrack for a cross-country road trip.

Longtime fans were delighted to have their local boys back as the quintet hit a sold-out Webster Hall on Thursday night for a homecoming show, playing largely from the recent record. They opened with its lead track, “Somebody New.” Real Estate played older favorites “Green Aisles” and “Saturday” early but newer songs from Daniel garnered equal applause. There’s a playfulness that adds to the band’s charm, like the life-size Danny Devito cutout manning the merch booth and their cheeky way of honoring famous Daniels. (Before putting out Daniel, they had been highlighting famous Daniels beginning in December with Daniel Radcliffe and this month with Anthony Daniels.)

Adding to the whimsy, Bleeker requested the disco ball be activated for “Haunted World,” and despite a delayed start, it cast a glitter across the room. Admittedly a New Jersey band, Courtney confirmed that “Talking Backwards” was their only song recorded in Manhattan and hoped to record more in the future. The set sped along quickly as everyone was having a great time and soon “Darling” was declared the last song. But it wasn’t a surprise when Real Estate returned for an encore with Bleeker’s throbbing basslines on “Friday” and his lead vocals on “Victoria.” They capped off the show with fan-favorite “It's Real,” ushering folks into the late night with an extra bounce in their step. —Sharlene Chiu | @Shar0ck

Real Estate Live Show Review: 4/11, Thalia Hall, Chicago

Real Estate's Martin Courtney & Alex Bleeker

BY JORDAN MAINZER

During the middle of Thursday's Real Estate show at Thalia Hall, part of their Infinite Jangle tour, I thought to myself about the New Jersey band, "Are they the millennial generation's version of college rock?" Independent of the extent to which they get played on independent university radio stations--let alone SiriusXMU--Real Estate were at least thinking about their forebears during the making of their latest album Daniel (Domino). Frontperson Martin Courtney cited R.E.M.'s Automatic For The People--which added elements of baroque to the Athens, GA greats' punky folk--when working with producer Daniel Tashian, known for crossing over country singers into the pop mainstream. Tashian encouraged Real Estate, too, to return to their penchant for hooks, and they self-consciously made a comparatively poppy record after years of darker hues, longer songs, and general experimentation. As a result, they, and yours truly, think Daniel is at once their best album yet and their least hyped.

Real Estate's Julian Lynch, Sami Niss, Courtney, & Bleeker

Indeed, Daniel exudes a weightlessness, free of expectations. The songs, more often than not, are about songwriting and musicmaking in an increasingly cruel universe; as a result, the band plays what comes to mind. That spirit showed itself in their show on Thursday. The psychedelia of "Say No More" and bouncy bass and keyboards of "Flower" seemed effortless, the vocal harmonies between Courtney and bassist Alex Bleeker on "Water Underground" natural. Even the songs that missed Justin Schipper's pedal steel from the studio version, like "Haunted World", shined in other ways, Courtney's lyrical delivery reminiscent of power pop greats like Adam Schlesinger. And it appears Real Estate have gotten good at jamming--not indulgent noodling, but true musical chemistry. "Freeze Brain", whose studio version emanated from a hip hop beat drummer Sammi Niss was playing, toed the line between taut and elastic. "This world is diseased but at least we can be here," Courtney sang, evergreen words when it comes to writing, recording, and playing tunes. For what it's worth, the band did noodle a bit while Courtney was switching guitar cables, Julian Lynch's guitar riffing Allman-worthy, but Real Estate remained concise, showing restraint.

Lynch

Best, it seemed just as fitting that Real Estate knew what not to play. Throughout his Apple Music breakdown of Daniel, Courtney remained open about not liking some songs as much as others. Likewise, on Thursday, he knew that switching to a 12-string for Bleeker's "Victoria" or hopping on keyboards for meandering closer "You Are Here" would not have fit within their set. The band played a little more than half of Daniel rather than the whole thing, opting to intersperse their new songs within the highlights of their discography, like Days singalong "It's Real", whose sped up version inspired whoas loud enough to be a soccer chant. Atlas' "Talking Backwards", perhaps the band's best song, which doubled down on the Days formula, was propulsive as ever. Bleeker's "Wonder Years" was wonderfully wistful. "Green Aisles" offered a gentle respite between "Had to Hear" and "Talking Backwards". And keyboardist Matt Kallman shone on The Main Thing highlight "Paper Cup", a song whose glistening synths would perhaps have netted the band an even bigger audience had the album not come out just before COVID.

Real Estate's Matt Kallman, Lynch, Niss, Courtney, & Bleeker

During Real Estate's encore, a few hardcore audience members shouted out requests, mostly from the band's self-titled debut. Eventually, a tired audience member replied, "Play whatever you want!" Courtney said, "I like that person that said, 'Play whatever you want.' That's what we're gonna do anyway." It was a humorous exchange, but one that also ate at the tenor of Daniel. For Real Estate, playing whatever they want is not just a night-by-night choice, but a purpose and a mantra, the very reason for the band's perseverance and thriving in a ruthless music industry and world.

Martin Courtney presenta l’àlbum Magic Sign (2022)

@martincourtney_ Gènere: #rockalternatiu #cançodeldia Quan Martin Courtney era adolescent, sabia com perdre’s. A finals dels 90 i principis dels 2000, carregat en un cotxe amb amics navegava per l’extensió suburbana de Nova Jersey sense cap destinació en ment. Ell i els seus amics buscaven senyals coneguts amb fletxes que apunten a pobles dels quals havíem sentit parlar. Els anomenaríem…

Martin Courtney - Magic Sing

Martin Courtney – Magic Sing

Siempre he pensado que, si te lanzas con una carrera en solitario fuera de tu banda principal, es para hacer algo diferente y no una extensión de esa banda. Pero lo cierto es que no suele ser así. Y, por norma general, cuando se atreven a jugar con otros sonidos, se quedan en meros experimentos. Así que también es cierto que a veces no está mal dejarse atrapar por la zona de confort musical.…
