Ernest Greene, better known by his stage name Washed Out, is an American singer-songwriter and record producer. His first recordings have been described as “drowsy, distorted, dance pop-influenced tracks that brought to mind Neon Indian and Memory Tapes”. Washed Out’s style has been identified with the chillwave movement. He has said hip hop influences the way he writes songs. The first two Washed Out EPs were released in August and September 2009. Washed Out made his debut New York City performance (his second live show ever) at Santos Party House. He has since performed at the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival and his song “Feel it All Around” is featured in the opening sequence of the TV series Portlandia.
