Washed Out

Summer is arriving and who is better to prepare us for another great summer other than Washed Out. They sound exactly as they sound. Reminiscent of salt-stained clothes, sun-burnt skin, laying out in the park with your friends day drinking, walking around the city, and by late afternoon you are absolutely washed out laying on the bed, trying to figure what to do with the night.

Ernest Greene is the man behind Washed Out. He is from Perry, Georgia who came out with his first EP last year, "Life Is Leisure", which became an immediate hit. I remember last summer being the chill-wave/lo-fi movement with artists like Washed Out, Toro Y Moi, Blackbird Blackbird, Atlas Sound, Memory Tapes, Memory Cassette, Niva, Millionyoung, Teen Daze, and so on taking over people's playists. It was a magical time with music for me.



Washed Out will be coming out with his long-awaited LP this July, but to endure these next couple months you can enjoy his newly released single "Eyes Be Closed".

In case you haven't heard his EP (GOD FORBID!!!), I decided to pull a few of my favorite songs.

Discodeine




Dirty.Dark.French.Disco. need I say more?
Discodeine was introduced to me by yet again, my music doppelganger (Tom) a few weeks ago. Pilooski and Pentile make up this french duo who joined forces in 2007. They have remixed several well regarded artists such as Metronomy, Whomadewho, Bot'ox, Photonz, Yelle. Then in January this year they finally released their first album under Dirty/Pschent records. There are some songs on the album that I cannot stop playing especially "Singular" featuring a special artist of mine, Matias Aguayo (Oh god I heart him so much!)

So take a listen to some more of that French goodness.
