Real Estate’s Martin Courtney Announces New Album ‘Magic Sign’, Shares New Single

Real Estate frontman Martin Courtney has announced his first solo album since 2015’s Many Moons. It’s called Magic Sign, and it’s set to arrive on June 24 via Domino. Lead single ‘Corncob’ is out today alongside a video directed by Bráulio Amado and Antonio Vicentini. Check it out below.

“The lyrics are about a specific time, the end of youth, pre-adulthood, scummy kid hanging around your hometown a little too long, smoking weed and driving around the surrounding area with your friends to get as completely lost as possible,” Courtney explained in a statement. “Eventually getting home using these little green signs that are posted throughout the NJ suburbs telling you which way to go to reach different towns. We called them magic signs.”

He added: “You do this enough times and it eventually gets harder and harder to get lost. A song about pushing the boundaries of where you grew up until you exhaust the mystery and hit a different kind of boundary. A song about aimless kids looking for direction.”

Magic Sign was recorded, mixed, and co-produced by Rob Schnapf at Mant Sounds in Los Angeles. The album was mastered by Greg Calbi and features contributions from Matt Barrick, Oliver Hill, Kacey Johansing, and Tim Ramsey.

Bully Joins Weird Nightmare on New Single ‘Wrecked’

Weird Nightmare, the project of Metz’s Alex Edkins, has released a new song, ‘Wrecked’, featuring guest vocals from Bully’s Alicia Bognanno. The track is lifted from his forthcoming self-titled album, following previous cuts ‘Searching for You’ and ‘Lusitania’. Check out its Ryan Thompson-directed video below.

“‘Wrecked’ is about missing someone,” Edkins explained in a press release. “For me, it’s about missing my wife and son while on tour. Being away has become harder and harder to do. I think most people can relate to it. Feeling impossibly far away from the ones you love and coming to the realization that you won’t feel whole again until you return. I was really happy to collaborate with Alicia (Bognanno) on this song and I love what she adds to it. Alicia has a one in a million voice. A voice that you recognize immediately and she really lifts the song way up.”

Weird Nightmare comes out on May 20 via Sub Pop.
