Ernest Greene, aka Washed Out, was all over the internets yesterday after announcing his Sub Pop full-length debut (out July 12). Additionally it's mentioned he's coming around the Bay with a gig at the Great American Music Hall a few days prior on July 9th. I'm totally stoked...in that chillwave kinda-way.
Streaming from the upcoming Within and Without, is "Eyes Be Closed" - a track undoubtedly influenced by Enya, and that standing outside a phonebooth song.
EDIT (7/20): Two days ago Domino Records (by way of Subpop) released the "short beautiful visual piece" for "Eyes Be Closed," which can be now be seen above.
this came in the mail from japan today.

So I was going to post the brand new XX single "Angels" but everyone on this side of the internet has uploaded it already. You've heard it eight times today. If not, go here and enjoy one of the best songs of the year. But before you go, listen to Twin Shadow's lead off track "Golden Light" off his new album Confess. Fog summer appropriate and accompanying sadness approved.
