within and without.
After being torn to shreds by both Black Keys and My Morning Jacket concerts this week, I desperately needed something to help mellow me out this morning — and then something seemingly perfect fell into my lap. (No, not a joint.)
The new album from Washed Out (a.k.a. Ernest Greene) may not be out for another two weeks, but you can currently stream the entire thing over at NPR, and I strongly recommend that you do. I’m a sucker for experimental dream pop and “chillwave” as it’s been coined, and Ernest always seems to get the formula just right. Below is “You and I,” a definite standout, along with a couple of older tracks that I will use almost any excuse to re-post. Dream away.
