Washed Out - Life of Leisure (EP)
http://www.myspace.com/thebabeinthewoods
Washed Out is Ernest Greene, a young guy from Georgia (via South Carolina) 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 the Chromatics, Washed Out is the music to end your night with, when the city is quiet and the walk home, long.
1. Get Up
2. New Theory
3. Hold Out
4. Feel It All Around
5. Lately
6. You'll See It

I don't see this whole "chillwave" thing lasting to long.
