Real Estate
We asked an AI language model to write a bio for our band in the voice of Forrest Gump:
“Well now, let me tell you a little somethin’ about Real Estate, that there American indie rock band. They started back in 2009 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. You see, they got this real nice sound, all laid-back and melodic. It’s a mix of indie rock, jangle pop, and dream pop, just like a sweet little tune floatin’ in the breeze.
Real Estate was put together by a fella named Martin Courtney, who sings and plays the guitar. Then you got Julian Lynch strummin’ another guitar, Alex Bleeker holdin’ it down on the bass, Matt Kallman ticklin’ those keys, and their drummer, Sammi Niss, keepin’ the beat. They all came together and made some mighty fine music.
Their first album, self-titled ‘Real Estate,’ came out in 2009 and folks loved it. They said it had these sun-soaked melodies and lyrics that make you think about life. After that, they put out another album called ‘Days’ in 2011, and it made ’em even more popular. People really took a likin’ to their laid-back style.
In 2014, Real Estate released ‘Atlas.’ Oh boy, it was somethin’ special. The music was so pretty, like a dream. It had all these fancy instruments and thoughtful themes. They just kept on goin’ with albums like ‘In Mind’ in 2017 and ‘The Main Thing’ in 2020. Each time, they grew and showed their skills as musicians and songwriters.
Real Estate has been all over the place, playin’ their tunes for folks far and wide. They’ve been to North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. People can’t get enough of their easy-goin’ melodies and heartfelt lyrics. It’s like takin’ a stroll down memory lane, thinkin’ ’bout life and all its twists and turns.
Real Estate’s sixth full-length album, ‘Daniel,’ well, they cooked it up in a lively nine-day spree down in RCA Studio A in Nashville, hangin’ out with the famous producer and songwriter, Daniel Tashian. In 11 catchy tunes, they kinda blend the wild excitement of their early days with the wisdom that comes with bein’ all grown up.
Now, here’s the funny part. While they were in the middle of cookin’ up this musical feast, all five of the Real Estate folks were sittin’ around chattin’ about what to call the album. And you know what someone said? “Daniel.” Yep, just like a regular human name. Why? Well, maybe it was a nod to the producer, Daniel Tashian. Or perhaps a tip of the hat to The Replacements’ Tim. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, it’s the mark of a band that’s been around the block long enough to take their music seriously without takin’ themselves too seriously. Ain’t that somethin’?”
