Washed out will perform at he Governors Ball on Friday June 6th. They will also headline an after show at the Brooklyn Bowl later that evening. If you are not in New York this weekend you can catch Washed Out at the Grog Shop in Cleveland on June 10th.
I know Washed Out played in Cleveland a few years ago and I missed that. I'm anxious to see them.
The music recorded by Ernest Greene as Washed Out has been nothing if not dreamy, but for his second full-length, he’s taken the idea of letting your mind wander to another state a huge leap further. On Paracosm, due out Aug. 13 on Sub Pop, the Georgia-based musician explores the album’s namesake phenomenon, where people create detailed imaginary worlds. The concept has been used to describe fantasy lands like Tolkien’s Middle Earth and C.S. Lewis’ Narnia, and it’s at the heart of the 2004 documentary In The Realms Of The Unreal about outsider artist Henry Darger.
