New Jersey’s a weird place. The outside world marvels at the state, wondering how one can even survive in such conditions. (note: NJ state slogan- only the strong survive.) Residents, both home and abroad, however, hold the Garden State in a high regards, noting the unparalleled sweet corn, uber-ripe tomatoes and Susan Sarandon’s breasts as some of the state’s most prized output. Soon to be added to that fine list of Garden State crops is Real Estate’s self-titled debut full-length, to be released by Jeremy Earl’s Woodsist label on November 17th. In proper fashion, Real Estate will tour in preparation of the release. Like any good group of suburban boys would do, the band, which has a bunch of shows lined up during CMJ, will promote the album with a 10 day tour with everybody’s current favorite Girls. The jaunt, which will take the band out to Chicago and even has them crossing International borders (stash your weed at the border boys!), will begin at Maxwells, the infamous Hoboken, NJ haunt, which Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley had a hand in reviving. Mom’s will be proud.
