With their eagerly-awaited new album landing in just a few days, Real Estate have now dropped the final cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.
The new single 'Flowers' comes accompanied by a brilliant new video, directed by Magnus Carlsson, and follows on from the previously shared tracks 'Haunted World' and 'Water Underground' in previewing their new LP 'Daniel', which is out on the 23rd February via Domino.
Speaking about the new offering, they said, “This song is the closest Real Estate will ever get to like a Shania Twain style country rocker. We keep saying we didn’t go to Nashville to make a country record - we didn’t - but then we put out shit like this. Who cares though this song rocks. Check out that guitar solo.”
While singer Martin Courtney added on the visuals, “For me, the greatest animated music video of all time is Magnus Carlsson’s iconic ‘Paranoid Android’ video for Radiohead. It looked like nothing else on MTV in 1997. So when we decided to do an animated video for our next single, that was at the top of the mood board. Let’s make something like the “Paranoid Android” video. It didn’t even occur to us that we could actually ask Magnus Carlsson himself to make a video for our song, or that he would actually do it, or that it would end up just as weird and beautiful as we could have imagined. Big thanks to the legend Mr. Carlsson for being up for working with us.”
