Posted May 3, 201114 yr Washed Out :: Within and Without July 11th 2011 Weird World/Domino http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/washedout_1.jpg "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."

Hopefully there is some stuff as good as 'New Theory' or 'Feel It All Around' on the album. :wub:
May 3, 201114 yr For me, I feel as though this'll be similar to Toro y Moi's latest effort - I should like it, but it never really clicks. The steel pans (I think that's what they are?) in Eyes Be Closed are incredible. And oh dear! Chillwave doesn't seem to have much appeal whilst I'm still swooning over Teengirl Fantasy and Pictureplane from 2009. Edited May 3, 201114 yr by Harve

June 6, 201114 yr And yes, I do realise it's still over a month from release. Oh and I've made 80% of the posts in this thread, oh dear.
June 28, 201114 yr "Eyes Be Closed" is excellent! (listening now) :music: Edited June 28, 201114 yr by alin
August 31, 201113 yr I've tried and tried with this album. Just not feeling it :( I don't quite get "Eyes Be Closed" (worst track on the album), but the rest is really good - especially "Amor Fati".
September 21, 201113 yr Another average/disappointing video for one of the highlights from the album (and next single): 7fYnfE5Cycg
