Creating a music video, in my opinion, should be about creating art. There are so many intricate elements that should go into a video that are so often left forgotten or, at least, unattended. First and foremost is the song itself - a video must compliment the art to which it is expanding from audio to video. Connecting the two is extremely important. Second is theme. The best videos have some storyline, vague or distinct. Or at least something visually interesting. What started below [...]

It's been over a year since their last show at Skully's, but between a new record, constant touring of the world and television appearances, this comes as no surprise. Odd Blood has received acclaim from multiple reviewers across the US and UK since February and supplied the demand of fans globally, including appearances at [...]

Washed Out è uno dei "casi" musicali del mondo indipendente. All'anagrafe si chiama Ernest Greene e viene dalla Georgia. E' diventato famoso con un paio di ep, andati esauriti di pari passo alle recensioni ricevute sui blog e webzine americane. Il suo "Life Of Leisure", ep contenente sei canzoni, è uscito più o meno un anno per l'etichetta indipendente statunitense Mexican Summer ed è stato subito accolto come pietra miliare della chillwave. Dopo essere andato esaurito in qualche mese adesso è ristampato sia in vinile che in cd. Dall'ep è estratta anche [...]
On the road with Washed Out. Video directed by John Lipari.
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 [...]
