Washed Out - Feel It All Around

chopped & screwed synth pop

The limited EP "Life of Leisure" just shipped out from Insound.

wanna know what the sound quality is like. i know it's meant to all sound compressed and trebly but heard a few different-sounding rips. i'll buy it anyway it's pretty much the best thing i've heard in 09. i guess a proper album next year ft. best tracks from this, the tape thing (i like 'Belong' more than 'Feel It All Around') plus new songs would be ideal.

some tracks on High Times remind me of Rae & Christian more than anything else

a little late to the table but I like it...definitely music to drive to. Not seeing what makes it worth rebranding as 'hypnogogic pop' or whatever--falls in the same space as those Studio records, and those didn't get crazy hyped like this dude. Balearic pop perhaps? but maybe thats exactly what hypnogogic pop is.

kinda reminds of this

earnest greene mix. pretty fucked. sounds like a buncha samples (i recognize some boogie song and maybe a wes montgomery sample) just tweaked to all shit.

uh.... not feeling it. too campy. too tim & eric

Have heard this amazing track in the Aeroplane mix but rediscovered via the poll. The bassline reminds me (to the point of wondering if it was sampled) of "Thieves Like Us".

most of the backing track (including bass) is a sample from "i want you" by gary low

Perhaps it inspired New Order...

does anyone what he sampled for the track "belong" ?

Does he only use samples? Belong sounds a lot like "Englishman in New York" to me, even the melody. But I'm not sure if he sampled it. If it's just samples, there are probably a lot of things in there.

whoa

what about an album?

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

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!

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.
