When we last checked up on Washed Out, the one-man South Carolina bedroom psych-maker offered up "Belong," the shimmering, slightly-Caribbean vocal-fronted opener from the forthcoming High Times cassette. The more chilled-out, interstellar instrumental "Luck" shows up on Side B. Everyone -- including cover dude Ernest Greene himself -- seems to be positioning Washed Out as summer music, but now that the weather's broken a bit, it's clear it'll do just as good a job soundtracking the fall.
