Days Domino****

The second record from the Ridgewood, New Jersey trio doesn't make a grand entrance, but don't be fooled by such modesty. Daysis soft, warm and joyful, an album where the band swap the jangles of their debut for more shimmering guitar fare. There are precedents for Real Estate's glow – you'll find plenty of reminders of the understated elegance of Galaxie 500, The Byrds and Pale Saints – but the soulful, smooth burn of the tunes comes from a different place entirely. These songs get under your skin with stealth, Martin Courtney's hazy voice and the smouldering atmospherics acting as a pastoral balm on Easyand Municipality. The swooning riff on Kinder Blumenis a work of great, intricate beauty. Before you know what's going on, you'll find yourself falling under a spell and itching for more. See myspace.com/ realestate
