Washed Out - Life of Leisure


Washed Out is the solo project of multi instrumentalist Ernest Greene.

This lo-fi, surf-pop EP is reminiscent of a hazy summers night by the beach, mixing 80s style synths with blurred, almost illegible, vocals. Taking influences from the likes of The Beach Boys and Gary Low all the way up to Daft Punk, Life of Leisure is a record looking to the future but taking from the past. Stand out tracks include Feel It All Around, which sounds like a slowed down disco and Lately, a more upbeat but still laidback track.

Out now on CD and digital download.
