From this week's paper:
At his house just outside Athens, Ernest Greene is straight-up lounging. After showing off his basement studio, with the dew-dappled picture window that looks out on an idyllic patch of woods (two deer soon arrive; paging Thomas Kinkade), he sits on a comfy couch in his gorgeous living room with its vaulted ceilings, soft-rock titans America barely blaring from the stereo. A swimming pool beckons just outside the back door. This is exactly where one might expect to find Ernest Greene.
Greene's bedroom-pop project Washed Out began garnering breathless, hyperbolic buzz back in 2009 on the strength of Life of Leisure, an EP of homemade synth-pop recordings, and one track in particular, the druggy, ethereal "Feel It All Around." The sound, and that of Greene's compatriots, like Neon Indian and Toro Y Moi, was jokingly dubbed "chillwave" by a music blogger; perhaps unfairly, the term stuck. While many of its contemporaries have slowly faded from the collective consciousness (remember Memory Tapes?) Washed Out has managed to endure.
