Washed Out
Notes From A Quiet Life
The godfather of chillwave Ernest Greene is the creative force behind Washed Out. 'Notes From A Quiet Life' is his fifth album. The purity of vision is what makes 'Notes From A Quiet Life' so potent. It's the first album Greene wholly self-produced. The music of Washed Out has always levitated over a timeless frontier. You can sense it in his immersive, amorphous vocals, the expansive soundscapes, the wistful storytelling. The album is bold in its intuitiveness: Greene has left the treadmill of music-as-a-business, instead letting his artistic interests lead the way. "Each album," says Green, who also paints and sculpts, "is a world-building exercise."
