Real Estate's Martin Courtney shares new track 'Sailboat'

With his eagerly-awaited new solo album arriving later this month, Real Estate's Martin Courtney has now dropped the next cut to be lifted from his forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Sailboat' comes accompanied by a brilliant new video, directed by Bráulio Amado, and follows on from the previously shared lead track 'Corncob' in previewing his new LP 'Magic Sign', which is out on the 24th June via Domino.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “For some reason I always assumed I did not possess a ‘license to rock’. This song is my attempt at some unlicensed rocking. I was extremely fortunate to have Matt Barrick, who drummed on the greatest rock song of the 2000s, ‘The Rat’, on this one. Couldn’t have done it any other way.

"Lyrically this song is kind of about keeping things in perspective and attempting to stay positive in the face of all of the bullshit. An increasingly difficult task.

"And I just thought ‘Sailboat’ was a funny name.”
