Album of the Week (March 2 - 8): Real Estate - 'Atlas'



There were a lot of solid choices for album of the week this week, but as mentioned in the previous post about poolside.fm the sun is out and I'm rocking a serious summer vibe (even though there is still a few feet of snow on the ground).  For this reason, Atlas, the latest record from Real Estate takes the highly coveted (by everyone that has ever lived anywhere) Kid Internet Album of the Week.  Soundwise, if you've ever listened to Real Estate you pretty much know what you're in for with this record.  Not a whole lot has changed since the last record, although the production has been cleaned up a little bit.  The lyrical content is a little darker, which is a little strange to hear from a band like Real Estate.  Even with the darker lyrical content, the album still feels like summer which at this point works well for me:
