Musical Interlude: Eyes be Closed by Washed Out
April 16, 2013Your words recall to mind Your short sweet life
Love this chilled out, relaxed vibe that comes from Washed Out aka Ernest Greene’s sound. His style is identified with the “chillwave movement”. I saw him interviewed on Ceol ar an Imeall and he has a Southern accent to die for born in Perry, Georgia. After earning an undergraduate degree from The University of Georgia, Greene obtained a Master of Library and Information Science degree but was unable to find a job as a librarian. He moved back in with his parents and started producing songs in his bedroom studio. This is the first single to be taken from ‘Within and Without’, the long awaited debut album from Washed Out. Enjoy!
