“Of all the chillwavers influenced by Panda Bear's Person Pitch who emphasized "beach" over "boys," Ernest Greene became the most ubiquitous, his dreamy "Feel It All Around" spreading from Williamsburg boutiques to Portlandia. For his full-length debut, Greene teams with producer Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley) to revisit his '80s reveries, crafting Balearic bliss ("Eyes Be Closed") and refreshing New Romantic flounce ("Amor Fati"). He even invigorates '90s trip-hop's head-nod ("Before," the title track), making for an even better coast soundtrack.” SPIN Magazine 9/10
Washed Out is the operational alias for Atlanta, GA’s Ernest Greene, and on July 12th, we at Sub Pop Records will be releasing the first Washed Out full-length, Within and Without. We are excited about this, to an almost unseemly degree. Greene recorded Within and Without with Ben Allen, who, among a great many other things, co-produced Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavillion, Gnarls Barkley’s St. Elsewhere and Deerhunter’s Halcyon Digest . In 2009 Washed Out released two critically-acclaimed EPs; Life of Leisure (Mexican Summer) and High Times (Mirror Universe Tapes). Most recently, the Washed Out song “Feel It All Around,” from Life of Leisure, was chosen as the theme song for the new and very funny IFC series Portlandia, which features Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen and Sleater-Kinney/Sub Pop alum and current Wild Flag member Carrie Brownstein.
On Life of Leisure: "…Washed Out submerges a sense of intense feeling within its ‘80s-fantasy electronic ether. The yearning-in-utero effect is strongest on woozy centerpiece “Feel It All Around.” With blurry singing, cheap-sounding synths, and a humid, syrupy flow, the track suggests an ’80s synth pop hit that won’t come straight out and cop to itself—or a young man in love, too tongue-tied (or too stoned?) to admit it."—Pitchfork
