Minneapolis indie-pop group Real Numbers release Was It Always This Way today.
The album includes 'This Empty Frame', 'I Can Tell', 'Darling', 'Star', 'Twist The Blade' and 'Don't Look Away' and arrives digitally alongside vinyl and CD editions.
Real Numbers draw from jangly indie pop and DIY guitar traditions where concise songwriting matters more than studio spectacle.
Their music has the immediacy of classic independent singles while retaining enough melancholy to prevent nostalgia from becoming the entire point. Was It Always This Way is one of today's strongest Bandcamp discoveries for listeners whose definition of indie still begins with guitars, melody, small labels and beautifully economical songs.
