Washed Out September 17, 2011

Washed Out, a.k.a. Ernest Greene, makes hazy, downbeat synth-pop that swells with cascading vocals and echoing beats. Making ripples with 2009’s Life Of Leisure EP—the single “Feel It All Around” was the opening theme for the first season of IFC’s Portlandia—the Georgia-based Greene is yet another multi-instrumentalist boy wonder in the micro-genre of chillwave (see: melodic, synthesizer-based pop). But to his credit, the aptly titled Life Of Leisure is a nimble debut, a lo-fi and tranced-out effort that brims with the wistful promise of a never-ending summer night. Now signed to Sub Pop, Washed Out’s full-length debut, Within And Without, came out this summer.
