Recorded at Wilco's studio, in Chicago, IL, Atlas expands upon the pastoral lushness of 2011's breakout album Days. Atlas continues hitting with the same catchy confidence that made Days such an enduring listen. Review: The Real Estate LP that invites you to really "listen" - I bought Atlas on a whim, after hearing killer first single "Talking Backwards" incessantly upon release. Before my vinyl copy arrived, though, I managed to listen to the full album on Youtube -- an experience that got me thinking whether I've made the right decision or not. For one, there's the lack of upbeat pop songs. "Talking Backwards" aside, there's nothing like "It's Real" or "Easy" here, no tunes that will immediately catch your attention. And there's that feeling of melancholy that permeates most of the music and lyrics -- as if leader Martin Courtney has decided to make an album with "Green Aisles" as its main template. But then I realized that this might not be a bad thing after all. I have to admit that I got bored with "It's Real" and "Easy" fairly quickly, while "Green Aisles" (and other mid-tempo, lyrically-reflective numbers on second album Days) managed to stick around on my playlist longer and eventually became the songs that define that album for me. The good news is -- while mid-tempo seems to be the order of the day -- I found out that, upon further listens, Courtney actually managed to crank up his songwriting skills a couple of notches. Just because most of the songs aren't upbeat doesn't mean they're no longer pop songs. The hooks are there, you just have to really listen before -- in Courtney's own words -- "all will be revealed". And "listen" becomes another keyword in describing my Atlas experience. Real Estate has never sounded so pristine, so crisp and so clear than they are in this album. (A note to the sceptic: "pristine" doesn't necessarily equal "polished".) This enables me to listen -- and, in turn, appreciate -- sonic details like Alex Bleeker's melodic basslines, drummer Jackson Pollis' subtle yet addictive cymbal hits, and, more importantly since we're reviewing a guitar pop album, the interplay between Courtney's rhythm guitar and Matt Mondanile's leads (which reminds me a lot of the twin jangle cranked out by guitarists Boz Boorer and Alain Whyte on Morrissey's Vauxhall & I LP). So yeah, thumbs up must also be given to producer/engineer Tom Schick (Wilco) for all this aural bliss. A couple of words on the vinyl version: it's great! Pressed on high quality 180 gram vinyl, with excellent separation between instruments (Atlas is of those few guitar-driven albums that actually sounds great on headphones) and no audible surface noise. Review: Great music! - I just discovered the indie rock band Real Estate after hearing them on KTAOS. My son recommended Atlas. It does not disappoint. My favorite songs are "Had to Hear" and "Navigator." Matt is a natural on guitar and Martin's melancholy voice adds depth to the songs. Alex's bass is fantastic. The music of this band brings me so much joy and the songs are playing in mind constantly. Do yourself a favor and buy Atlas! ## Images ![Atlas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NAI-WAeKL.jpg) ![Atlas - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pZbgDw3fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Real Estate LP that invites you to really "listen" *by P***T on April 14, 2014* I bought Atlas on a whim, after hearing killer first single "Talking Backwards" incessantly upon release.

Do yourself a favor and buy Atlas! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real Estate at their best *by H***R on January 10, 2015* Where do I begin with this album...It is one of the most shockingly great albums I've stumbled upon. The sound of this album compared to Real Estate's previous efforts shows a heightening level of musicianship. It's clear in this album that the band is coming together more and more with each album and this album hits the nail on the head with what makes a great album. It's consistent, natural, smooth, precise, nostalgic, emotive and so sincere. There are so many beautiful subtleties within 'Atlas' that allow for repeated listens. I love this album so much. Play this album any time you wish to feel calm and enjoy your surroundings. It's such a gem. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/4186974-atlas](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/4186974-atlas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
