WASHED OUT

Welcome to the world of 'Chillwave', a movement arguably spearheaded by one man, Ernest Greene, also known as Washed Out.

He appeared on our radar back in 2010 with the arrival of their first 6 track release 'Life of Leisure', having only previously released a 200 copy run of tape cassettes with the title of 'High Times' in 2009. In our opinion, a superior work to their most recent full length 'Within and Without'. Although still a great record, it fails to live up to the analogue fuzziness of 'Life of Leisure'. Pulsating lo-fi gem's like 'Belong' and 'New Theory' punctuate an almost flawless release. Regardless, Washed Out are firm favorites here at STC, and we think they should be yours too.
