Which do people enjoy more? I figured there should be a discussion on this because they make very similar styles of music. I personally favor Real Estate more because I have a greater emotional connection to their music compared to Mac's, while on the other hand I find Mac's attitude to be more entertaining than Real Estate's.
I don't care much for the sound of Atlas. While it has come good songs on it, it sounds too refined. When I think Real Estate I think lo-fi, just like Mac. To my ears, Atlas sounded like the odd one out from their other 3 releases in terms of sound. Also by saying that I feel like a hypocrite given my favorite album is Days.
I just wrapped up my first full listen of Salad Days, and even at 34 minutes it didn't feel that short.
I thought his release this year far outshines Atlas, which I think is Real Estate's weakest effort. I think that's what comes down to it for me.
For those who haven't heard DeMarco's first album, it's totally different from his last 2 releases. I'd recommend checking it out. It's like Elvis but better. _________________ Doubles & Conch
I like Real Estate, they make nice music, but an hour after listening to them I realize that nothing stuck out. DeMarco has much catchier melodies, an unforgettable jangle in his guitar, and his latest album has some trippy moments that paint his atmospheric sound with color. _________________
Real Estate are a snore, Mac's got cool jangly guitar tone. Mac.
I hate to parrot somebody and not contribute to the discussion but this. Real Estate are pretty much by the numbers for what they do and they don't do it in an engaging way while Mac is in the spirit of jangle pop masters of yesteryear; for me he's like the second coming of Mark Mulcahy.
