Introducing... Pleasure

This literally landed in our inbox this morning and it's been on repeat ever since. Italian bedroom producers Filippo Strafella and Ruggero Ghinzelli have only been together a short while and are already making beautiful dreamy pop.

Their latest single 'Rainbows' is a strong contender, think Toro Y Moi together with Washed out and suddenly you are floating around in some turquoise ocean with not a care in the world. A great track to block out those grey skies.

For fans of // Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, Cloud Boat

The Away Days' frontman covers "All I Know" by Washed Out

Oguzcan Ozen is the front-man of one of the most hard-working bands out there, working hard away at their rebut album he has found time to record a cover of Washed Out's "All I Know". The spin he's put on it just sums up The Away Days down to a T, I'd love to hear this when they perform live next!

Single Review... Washed Out - Eyes Be Closed

I will be reviewing just the title track on this review as there is (sadly) too many remixes to cover. Following this 12”, Domino / Weird World release the début album by Atlanta, Georgia based producer and songwriter Ernest Greene, AKA Washed Out. His first release, 2009’s home recorded 'Life Of Leisure EP' became an instant hit across blogs and press alike and catapulted Greene into the end of year polls - inspiring legions of imitators and several dubious new genres along the way. Two years in the making, 'Within And Without', recorded with Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley, Deerhunter), is the full realisation of Greene’s pop vision – nine songs of emotional, psychedelic dance music that is almost orchestral in its composition.



Eyes Be Closed:
The song itself is a shimmering piece of 80s nostalgia. Borrowing from New Wave, lo-fi and shoegaze movements, Washed Out has created a track of unadulterated joy. This is pop music at it's very best! If you're not already a fan of Washed Out's brand of fuzzy, summery anthems, this single is going to change your mind.
Out of 10: 8/10
