Reception[edit]
"Talking Backwards" received very positive reviews from contemporary music critics. The song was chosen upon release as Pitchfork Media's "Best New Track". Larry Fitzmaurice stated that, "From the chiming six-string interplay that opens the song to Martin Courtney's benevolent, honeyed vocals, all the elements are in place to cement "Talking Backwards" as another indelible Real Estate song, a testament to the band owning their lane as a truly exceptional guitar-focused group at a time when truly exceptional guitar-focused groups are in short supply." Fitzmaurice continues by saying, "The real star of "Talking Backwards", though, is the pristine production applied to the song, a dose of applied clarity that eradicates the fuzzy edges of the band's previous work for the better. Cast in this new light, Real Estate take on a radiant glow, spinning their mid-afternoon daydreams with the confidence of a good band using the tools at their disposal to become something greater."[2]
