New Washed Out - "Feel It All Around"
In a similarly dreamy realm as fellow Columbia, South Carolina multi-instrumentalist and friend Toro y Moi, Washed Out, aka Ernest Greene, gets us ready for a chilly summer (or July Language, if you're thinking Belong) with the woozy ambiance of "Feel It All Around." It's like a more insular Quiet Village until the vocals start and draw you a few steps closer, but the ending fade makes the whole thing disappear before you get a chance to burrow in deeply enough. This fleetingness is maybe part of its charm. And, why do I keep thinking about "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss"?

Expect a cassette from Mirror Universe, who're also bringing along a Toro y Moi tape on 7/28. You can hear additional Washed Out sounds at MySpace.

It's nice to see young musicians making it happen for themselves in Columbia, SC. There's always been a couple gems floating around there (see: Kurse Go Back, Thank God, Orgone Accumulator for some of the weirder stuff) amidst the metalcore bullshit, but nobody ever really got the attention they deserved.
Good thing the internet exists. Props to Ernest.

I agree; there are some gems in Columbia just not much of a scene to support them. Props to Ernest for shining the spotlight over this way for a little bit. For a fun carnival/lounge/rock mix, check out the New York Disco Villains.

I'm not so sure that there's much of a connection between the subject matter of this piece and your band dude... other than geography. Use some discretion.

Don't forget to check out everyone else on the label. Not many releases, but google works fine until then.

I really think the best way to explain "Feel it all around" is very much in the simplicity of it's name. You just feel the ambiance all around you..you almost hate the song to end...
