Washed Out is the solo project of Ernest Greene. Ernest Greene, at the ripe old age of 22, is the kind of person who makes you ask yourself what you have achieved with your life as you approach your own 23rd birthday. Not enough, it would seem.
One of the premier young exponents of the Chillwave sound (along with Toro y Moi and Neon Indian), Washed Out produces music so warm and inspiring it just makes you want to live your life, more. The aptly titled Life of Leisure EP summarises Greene’s sound perfectly. Laid-back, warm electro sounds with soothing vocals and tranquil melodies create the perfect cathartic summer sound track.
Watch this in 720p, please. An ideal visual accompaniment to the track.
Fortunately for us Sydneysiders Ernest will be visiting very shortly. $40 ain’t cheap for a gig at the Arts Factory but when you consider what you get for your money it is easily great value. I’ve been looking forward to this gig for a while now.
Feel it all around – Washed Out
Happy Music
