Listen now ? before the sun goes away ? to the gorgeous sounds of Washed Out, leading proponents of chillwave
The sultry weather demands some kind of response ? and so it is that we bring you the debut album from Washed Out. Since June 2009, Ernest Greene ? for it is he! ? has been producing music from his bedroom in the rural town of Perry, Georgia, that has ? deep breath, now ? earned him the title "King of Chillwave". Although Toro Y Moi and Memory Tapes might dispute that judgment, at which point no doubt a horrible catfight would ensue ...
Anyway, that's the sobriquet attached to Greene's music: just him and his synth, more or less, conjuring dreamy soundscapes that evoke an 80s he is too young to remember. Producer Ben Allen has previously worked with Animal Collective and adds extra sheen. Right now, it's all sounding lovely.
But don't take our word for it, or that of Jessica Alba, who's tweeted about his "groovy tunes". Have a listen before the album is released through Domino on 11 July and let us know in the comments section below what you make of it.
