Columbia, SC synth-drenched multi-instrumentalist Ernest Greene, aka Washed Out, tapped into a drifting bit of woozy summertime ambiance with “Feel It All Around.” This time around things are a bit darker and more urgent on “Hold Out,” a track from his forthcoming Mexican Summer 12″. Like the last song, it starts and finishes suddenly, like it’s part of some larger patchwork. Or maybe his attention just shifted onto something else. Whatever the case, that “unfinished” feel’s part of Greene’s charm.

Last week Mexican Summer said, via Twitter, to look for a six-song Washed Out 12″ in September. It’ll be pressed in an addition of 1,000.

Another day, another post on Stereogum about a “synth-drenched multi-instrumentalist” whose name or songs no one will remember in two and a half weeks because ‘Gum will have jumped on some new made up uber-trendy flavor of the moment trend called “Experi-mental Nazi Jazz” or something. Are real artists not making real music or something right now? I know the economy is bad but c’mon.
Laura, did your college a cappella group perform some Postal Service songs?
this is a great track. there is a lot of “synth drenched” drivel out there right now, but this certainly doesn’t fall into that category. *doths cap*
