PURPLE MOON

Washed Out is Atlanta-based producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ernest Greene. Over three enchanting critically-lauded albums and an EP his music has proved both transportive and visual each release inviting listeners into immersive self-contained universes. With Purple Noon his fourth album and his return to Sub Pop he delivers the most accessible Washed Out creation to date. Life of Leisure Washed Out’s 2009 debut EP set the bar for the Chillwave era shimmering in a warm haze of off-the-cuff Polaroids and pre-IG filters. Within and Without his 2011 full-length debut on Sub Pop morphed into nocturnal icy synth-pop and embraced provocative imagery. 2013’s Paracosm was Greene’s take on psychedelia with a full live band and kaleidoscopic light show and saw him playing to the largest audiences of his career. The sample-heavy Mister Mellow (2017 Stone’s Throw) delivered a 360 audio/visual experience with cut-n-paste and hand-drawn animation to match the hip-hop influences throughout the album. With each release Greene has approached his evolving project with meticulous detail and a steadfast vision.
