Ernest Green, better known as Washed Out, has had quite a year, a year where he's gone from a bedroom producer making music for a hobby to become one of the forefront musicians in the 'Chillwave' scene. The video to accompany 'Hold Out' shows Greene on tour with his band. Directed by John Lipari the video shares the mixed highs and lows of touring, from the the love-in stage invasions to the solemn empty hallways, Greene's life is captured perfectly in the three and a half minute video.

Is there anyone cooler than Mr Washed Out at the moment? Life Of Leisure is a great album, perfect for chilling out to on these long drawn out summer evenings. And perhaps the most memorable track is 'Hold Out', which has just been handed out to the internet. It is [Read more]
Washed Out’s Life of Leisure has aged better than I could have ever imagined. To keep momentum going, he just released a video for “Hold Out”. The video is a relatively standard tour/concert concept, but provides a good look at the Washed Out live experience, which looks a lot more fun than I had imagined.

G5 - A couple times each week we pass along relevant music links 1. There’s never a wrong time for “Return of the Mack” 2. The AV Club has a terrific list of the best 25 songs about out-dated technologies 3. I didn’t watch Lost, because fuck polar bears in tropical climates, alternative universes and smoke monsters, but the humor of Weezer’s next album cover is not lost on me 4. It’s music week over at sports blog Deadspin, and editor emeritus Will [...]
Back-To-School signs are slowly starting to crowd us as a young August begins to gain its footing. And as we enter this final stretch of summer, some of us are realizing that while we felt the blistering heat just as much as everyone else, we might have forgotten to take any actual time off. But this year has certainly produced its fair share of summery coolbreeze records and tours to soundtrack at least a virtual vacation. Bands like Real Estate, Toro y Moi, Washed Out , and even the godfather of chillwave, Ariel Pink, have done their [...]

On a day when incessant rain is threatening to turn Singapore into an ex-island, it seems entirely appropriate to revisit the halcyon days of summer 2009, when evocative lo-fi pop was firmly back on the agenda and everything had a sunny, hazy, chilled-out kinda vibe. Time for some Washed Out wethinks. Ernest Green arrived in the same explosion of talent that brought us Memory Cassette/Tapes , Neon Indian , Toro Y Moi , Best Coast and Real Estate , releasing one of the year's most talked-about [...]
The Drums official LP dropped this week, i've been waiting for this for almost year I think.

Washed Out is back and collaborates with Chairlift' Caroline Polachek , a somber tempo and shows us that he's on a great path of being able to make this sound something more than just a trendy genre, I hope to hear more. Solvent's new video [...]

Enjoy the brief Q&A below. Read my review of Washed Out in NYC here. MP3: Washed Out - Feel It All Around (Toro Y Moi Mix)
When I heard that Beach House was playing in Nashville, there was no question in my mind that I was going to make the drive. Better yet, Washed Out was slotted to open. We made the drive down, hit a few record shops (Why is it that Nashville has a better Will Oldham, Palace, BPB selection than here?), then headed over the the Mercy Lounge for the show. If you haven't been there, it is the smaller sister venue to the Cannery Ballroom. I'd say there is room [...]
Here's a plethora of footage from the Washed Out / Beach House show Wednesday night at the Granada Theater in Dallas. This was the first show from their sold out US tour, and it was absolutely incredible. These videos do not do it justice. Ernest Greene (aka Washed Out) opened the show [...]
Six months can seem like an eternity in the blogosphere, and for Ernest Greene, it's barely been little longer than that since his project Washed Out was plucked from relative obscurity to being championed by outlets ranging from random tumblr accounts, to Pitchfork ( Best New Music for "Feel It All Around" ) to the Wall Street Journal . In March, Washed Out kicked off his inaugural tour, hitting the road with another "chillwave" contemporary, Brooklyn's Small Black , who recently released a full-length on Jagjaguwar . [...]
