A lot has changed in camp
Real Estate over the past few years - there's been a line up change, kids, a fair bit of moving about... Now they're back with new album '
In Mind', and as frontman Martin Courtney explains, despite the seperation ("we're tri-coastal") it's an album packed with ideas and detail.
Hey Martin, what are we interrupting?
I just moved into a new (110 year old) house this weekend, so I'm in the middle of a long process of painting rooms, unpacking boxes, arranging furniture, etc. Exciting for me, but most likely boring for you.
How are you guys at the moment? Is life treating you well?
I'm good, exhausted from the move, a bit overwhelmed, soaking up the last few weeks of pure family time before we start touring. I'm super excited about the new album. I've been listening to it a bit recently and I'm really happy with it. Feeling confident and optimistic.
You’ve had another line up change since 2014’s ‘
Atlas’ - is everything settled again after that initial upheaval? Was it a shock when Matt left?
Things in the band are feeling very settled and super tight. The remaining four of us found working together without Matt to be different, but very productive. We were lucky to have an old friend who happens to be extremely talented fill the void.
