Hailing from Perry, Georgia, Washed Out consists of Ernest Greene and some synthesizers. Forced to move home with his parents after college graduation like sooo many others, Greene used his free time to work on his music. This move strangely ended up being...a positive post-graduation plan. Greene recently released an EP appropriately entitled Life of Leisure, available on 12" and digitally via his myspace. Greene is riding the wave back to the 80s, where songs are beginning to sound more like they were recorded on cassette from being played on the television. But, that's what makes the songs so great! This new(ish) gritty sound evident in Greene's project produces some danceable tunes, deep and dreamlike with a solid beat, along with some mysterious lyrics. On November 20th, Washed Out will play with Toro y Moi, a similarily 80's sounding solo project written about previously.
