Real Estate Announces New Album, Plots Tour in 2024

Perhaps the finest rock band to emerge from North Jersey since The Feelies, Ridgewood’s Real Estate have just announced their return with a new album and tour in 2024.

Entitled Daniel, it’s the band’s sixth full-length, and will be released on February 23, 2024 by Domino Recording Co. 

It also finds the lineup of Martin Courtney (vocals, guitar), Alex Bleeker (bass, vocals), Matt Kallman (keyboards), Julian Lynch (guitar) and Sammi Niss (drums) heading to Nashville, TN to cut these 11 new songs recorded with GRAMMY-winning producer Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) at RCA Studio A in the heart of Music City USA.

The group has also shared the new album’s first single just in time for the holiday season, “Water Underground,” along with its accompanying music video. True children of the 1990s, the vid was directly inspired by the Nickelodeon kids sitcom The Adventures of Pete & Pete and actually features the show’s star Danny Tamberelli, also known for his role in 1992’s The Mighty Ducks, along with former castmate Michael C. Maronna. Directed by Edmond Hawkins, it was filmed in suburban NJ and conceptualized by Pete & Pete showrunners Chris Viscardi and Will McRobb.

“This song is about writing songs,” stated Courtney. “I think ‘Water Underground’ is like the unconscious, the mysterious part of your brain where creativity comes from. The constant flow of music in the back of your head. You get an idea while driving or walking the dog or something and you want to hold on to it.”

“New Jersey roots are hard to break,” adds Tamberelli. “Julian, Alex and Martin all grew up one town away from me and were actually friends with the younger siblings of my friends from Ridgewood. They told me they even saw me perform at the local bandshell with some of those older siblings while I was in high school. The video brings it full circle and adding my dear old friends from the show into the fold really tied it all together.”

Real Estate has also announced an extensive 2024 North American tour, beginning March in Vancouver and running until May 26 in Atlanta. Artist presale tickets will be available Nov. 29, with local pre-sales set for Nov. 30 and general public on-sales starting Dec. 1. Get tickets HERE.
