One of those is the album that this song is on, titled &#8220;Days&#8221;, the sophomore album released in 2011 by Jersey-based indie band <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Real_Estate_(band)\">Real Estate<\/a>. They&#8217;re surfer rock-ish and remind me of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justcharlie.com\/song-of-the-day-32-a-punk-live\">Vampire Weekend<\/a> albeit with a more subdued sound that&#8217;s more album-conducive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I listen to music basically all day, each week I go through 10+ albums. Some I listen to repeatedly, listening carefully for details that I miss or piecing together lyrics to get an idea for what kind of picture the band is trying to paint. I use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfredapp.com\/\">Alfred<\/a>\u00a0(highly recommended) on my Mac to rate songs with just a few keystrokes, but on average each album will have one or two songs with 4 or 5-star ratings. When I&#8217;m going through 10+ albums in a week, this rating system is essential in figuring out which albums and songs are worth going back to after the months and years tick by. This album has 7 out of 10 songs rated 4 or 5-stars in my iTunes library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire Days album is good and you can listen to the whole thing on Youtube here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XIqTGRrfVAw\">Real Estate &#8211;
