The Bonnaroo lineup just keeps on coming up with fun new sounds! I’m diggin on Real Estate, today. Smooth sailing, rolling guitars and neat synth pads make them really easy to listen too.

While they have a ton of music and more pictures than even Instagram can count, it’s been hard to find much about their bio. For a mysterious bunch they sure do get around, though!

After taking the stage and opening their set with Days track “Easy,” the crowd responded immediately, cheering and falling into a mass of softly swaying bodies alongside the dreamy tune. “Horizon” came next, an up-tempo track that made a smooth transition into “Crime,” a standout on Atlas. Seeing Real Estate live underlined one of most impressive things about the group: their ability at hiding unexpected gems of suffering in their beautifully, airy music (and making it believable). Like much of the band’s tunes, “Crime” drew together Matt Mondanile and Martin Courtney’s elegant, ethereal guitar lines while carrying the song’s sadness organically: “Toss and turn all night/Don’t know how to make it right/Crippling anxiety,” sang Courtney.
