The legendary band from Ridgewood, New Jersey, returns with a sixth studio album titled Daniel.
Recorded at RCA Studios in Nashville with producer Daniel Tashian (co-producer/co-writer of Kacey Musgraves’ Golden Hour album), Daniel sounds like a Real Estate classic with the subtle touches of a producer steeped in pop.
After several days of recording, the band was discussing album titles when someone suggested "Daniel," simply because it felt fun to give a record a human name. Was it for Daniel Tashian? Maybe. Was it a nod to The Replacements’ "Tim"? Possible. Was it a sign of a band that has been around long enough to take its music seriously without taking itself too seriously? Absolutely.
