Washed Out's always been the Ernest Greene show, but in the past there were whiffs of rock tradition. All those consistent vocals, all those gated backbeats.
Not anymore. Mister Mellow's Greene's first album not to credit any musicians, and he's even pushed his own singing out of the spotlight. This's pure sampledelic instrumental hip hop, all hazy samples and conversation snippets and swirled sounds, with full on tips into sunny house. It's a big thick cloud of slowmo nothing, damn listenable even as it slips through your fingers, a fun little romp freed of restrictions and expectations 3.5/5
