Bands You Should See #8: Washed Out
Submitted by Dom on Wednesday, 27 January 2010No Comment
Washed Out is the solo work of one Ernest Green, a young guy from Georgia who makes bedroom synthpop that sounds like the sparse, distant electro pop of ’80s pioneers Visage combined with the melodic Balearic beats that you hear pumping out of bars in down-town Marbella.
It’s a formula that shouldn’t really work, but somehow comes across like the most amazing thing we’ve heard since Crocodiles. Strange, disjointed and actually quite mournful, it ain’t the kind of stuff you can wave you hands around to, but it is the perfect soundtrack for sitting on your Ferrari Testarossa and just staring out to sea.
