Washed Out - Feel It All Around

what about an album?

better than the shitty synths used for 99% of hip hop these days that's for sure

oh shakey mo

^That "mix" is genius. It's just rapping on top of the track right?

dope

IMO the only Chillwaver who makes anything worth listening.

I've been trying to figure out what those drums remind me of. I'm thinking maybe "Burning Down The House" but I feel like they go back some late 70's prog. This is great BTW. It also reminds me of Slowdive and Moby's "Porcelain" only much, much better.

I like how unchillwave the cover is for the new Washed Out. Really looking forward to hearing it!

This is great BTW. It also reminds me of Slowdive and Moby's "Porcelain" only much, much better.

Ha. I opened the thread to say "so Porcelain, hm?"

this shit just sounds like some 90s ish & its mad generic.

just download some thievery corp imo

oh wow this song is fantastic!

good photo.. but then..

what if it IS the most satisfying sex album?

this is odd. it's a pleasant song, but much more deserving of "pretty but inconsequential" criticism than fleet foxes or whoever. reminds me in a strange, watered-down way of U2.

rototom-style drum fills are cool, and yeah, reminscent of "burning down the house", but like daavid says, they're also a prog thing, maybe a post-prog thing. like a less boomy version of that famous bit in phil collins' "in the air tonight".

i dont get 'watered down u2.' this shit is straight up 90s trip hop ish, sounds like a thievery corp album track imho

oops already made the TC jab. pretend i said 'sneaker pimps

you ppl just never stop having opinions

well, it only half sounds like something U2 would do melodically, in terms of the soaring vocal line vs. the whooshy synth parts. but if it were U2, the singer would be good, the beat would be a boring rhythm section, and the synth clouds would be the edge massaging sustain (or whatever).

this shit is wack u will get over it

I hear the U2 thing, kinda like one of the Unforgettable Fire b-sides. But those are like the best U2 songs ever, so cool.

new song really reminds me of 'feel it all around' by washed out

really? it reminds me of chillwave from 2011 or music that I heard that comes out of speakers.

this is great, makes me want to listen to moby

that lushlife rmx is pretty ill too

this is great, makes me want to listen to moby

o_O

im actually way into 90s-sounding ish this just feels blander to me ... still dont understand why no one is doing a revive of the chem bros

Give it a few years. The decade is still young.

"feel it all around" made me want to listen to "days go by"

i think the thing abt this new washed out is its the pt where he goes from creating something that, while steeped in retro, is ostensibly 'new' to just being a 90s revivalist

pretty cool track, i guess i hear the U2 thing a little bit.

the weird thing about all this new zeitgeisty millenial neo-hipster stuff - toro y moi, the weeknd, washed out, jj - is that it's all undeniably aesthetically pleasing (they KNOW who to steal their hooks from), but i can't say i like it. i can't be totally into it. i think it's because it remains on this yearning psuedo-sincerity tip and never confronts reality like Real Men.

the only nice moment on this new washed out tune is the drums indeed, but that's just because they're stolen from real dance tracks (which he's obviously influenced by), and in that indie juxtaposition it works cos it's still new. see also tan lines' drums.

so what does this track do? the vocals are annoying, it's musically uninspiring, and there's no song in here too. above all, it proves how ignorant ernest and his crowd are. this has all been done before, and in much better ways. take any balearic artist - max essa, coyote, studio, tiedye, etc - and they've already conquered these territories again and again. so why are we paying attention to this? pretense, i guess, is what we're left with. and washed out's pretense isn't that interesting.

oh and by the way, does anyone still listen to toro y moi's new album? doesn't it seem awfully boring now?

and yeah, moby rocks.

After listening to 'Eyes Be Closed' a few times, I can't find anything to like about it. After falling in love with 'Belong' I was really hoping for something more inspiring, even if Belong was the only song I loved off that ep. Maybe the album will have a few saving graces on it.

Underneath the Pine came out only a few months ago. How is it that you're already bored of an album that gets basically zero radio play or mainstream attention?

What's the point of listening to anything new if it's considered old as soon as it stops playing?

New track "Echoes" here (min 36).

Somebody's been listening to "The Beach" a lot lately:

^I meant "The Beach" soundtrack

Not a bad thing BTW!

No, but I prefer 'Pure Shores' tbh

first track is a dead ringer for the cars "who's gonna drive you home"
