Real Estate are back today with news of Daniel, the band's sixth full-length album. The album is arriving February 23 on Domino, and it's being previewed with new single "Water Underground."
"This song is about writing songs," frontman and lyricist Martin Courtney said of "Water Underground" in a statement. "I think 'Water Underground' is like the unconscious, the mysterious part of your brain where creativity comes from. The constant flow of music in the back of your head. You get an idea while driving or walking the dog or something and you want to hold on to it."
The song comes attached to a The Adventures of Pete & Pete-inspired video directed by Edmond Hawkins and starring Pete & Pete star Danny Tamberelli, who appears alongside former castmate Michael C. Maronna.
"New Jersey roots are hard to break," said Tamberelli in a statement about the video. "Julian, Alex and Martin all grew up one town away from me and were actually friends with the younger siblings of my friends from Ridgewood. They told me they even saw me perform at the local bandshell with some of those older siblings while I was in high school. The video brings it full circle and adding my dear old friends from the show into the fold really tied it all together."
Daniel was recorded in Nashville with producer Daniel Tashian and is the follow-up to 2020's The Main Thing. Alongside the album announcement, the band have also announced a 2024 North American tour that includes stops in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto.
