Great Escape With Washed Out
Filed Under Album Picks | Leave a Comment
This morning I am heading home to Southern Cali for a fun filled weekend. Before I hit the road I wanted to share one of the new releases that has been on heavy rotation.
The new album from Washed Out is even more of a dreamy trip than his debut. Paracosm is filled with sweeping, luminous melodies that will take you soaring through the clouds on a funky ride. Ernest Greene’s music just makes you feel good, anytime and anywhere. This is a lovely, inspired sophomore album, one well worth the wait.
Washed Out will be performing at First City Fest in Monterey (8/24) and FYF in LA (8/25) this weekend. He is currently on tour through the fall.

I was recently introduced to Gregory Alan Isakov, I fell in love instantly. Folksy singer-songwriter melodies with stunning poetic lyrics. The music has a heartbeat, with little moments of quiet that is so effective.
“I never pictured you living here with the rats and the vines
ain’t that my old heart hanging out on your lines
you’re all fucked up, Saint Valentine” – Gregory Isakov, Saint Valentine
Gregory (we are on a first name basis) has joined the likes of Nick Drake, Alexi Murdoch and Fionn Regan on my favorite singer-songwriter list. He is currently on tour and highly recommended.
“the Universe, she’s wounded
but she’s still got infinity ahead of her
she’s still got you and me
and everybody says that she’s beautiful”- Gregory Isakov, The Universe
