Grade: B
Easy listening with a modern twist, indie rock band Real Estate’s latest release “Days” is everything its fans have come to expect since the band’s self-titled debut in 2009. Real Estate’s mellow tunes are perfect for lazing around, and the smooth vocals that pop up once in a while will keep listeners from falling asleep. Songs like “Younger Than Yesterday,”  “All the Same” and “It’s Real” offer soft-spoken chant-like verses. Unfortunately, the album’s consistency sometimes comes across as a little boring, and after a few listens, each song begins to sound the same — like that oldies radio station your mom used to listen to in the car. Despite that, its sounds are soothing and with finals quickly approaching, “Days” proves to be the perfect study soundtrack.
