CD - Washed Out - Notes From A Quiet Life

1CD 

The music of Washed Out has always levitated over a timeless frontier. You can sense it in his immersive, amorphous vocals, the expansive soundscapes, the wistful storytelling. It's a sweet spot where, says its creative force, Ernest Greene, "any sort of association or memory from the past can transport you instantly. I love that".

Greene's transcendent output has earned him the moniker of "Godfather of Chillwave" by Pitchfork and a co-sign from "Portlandia", which borrowed his track, "Feel It All Around", for its utopian theme song. "Notes From A Quiet Life" arrives after delivering more than a decade of distinct and disparate creative re-imaginations at a remarkably high level (five albums, two EPs).

Greene's list of influences for "Notes From A Quiet Life" are mostly sculpture icons: minimalist legend Donald Judd, abstract expressionist Cy Twombly, and modernists Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. "Notes From A Quiet Life" is filled with the lush, sun-baked electronic pop that has won Washed Out legions of fans since 2009.
