Perry, Georgia, USA (2009 – present)
Washed Out is Ernest Greene, a young guy from Perry, Georgia, USA who makes bedroom synthpop that sounds blurred and woozily evocative, like someone smeared Vaseline all over an early OMD demo tape, then stayed up all night trying to recreate what they heard.
There’s a sense of longing and distance in Greene’s somber, filtered vocals, but it’s what he does compositionally that makes Washed Out stand out. Backed by gently pulsing, Balearic-tinged disco, Greene’s voice takes on a new dimension. Reminiscent of groups like The Glass and Chromatics, Washed Out is the music to end your night with, when the city is quiet and you’ve got a long walk home ahead of you.

Been pining for the return of synthesizer-based pop with a little more intellectual content that the basic "nnn-tss" of trance. What a great find this was.

Completely agree with pagodpaig. I don't think it's "technically groundbreaking" but the world he creates on WIthin and Without(album)is so incredible nostalgic and rich in melodies, hooks, and summery. I listen to this album weekly, almost daily. It's yet to get old or dated.

i'm not claiming that his album is technically great (criterion of what many consider as best), but within and without is a non-stop spin in my iPod. i never get tired of Before, Eyes Be Closed, and the title track. I say he is genius for crafting such endlessly addicting songs.
