Chilling in the waves....




This is my favorite record right now. Yeah, it's two years old, but I'll be honest and say I slept on it initially. I heard a couple songs in passing, but never really listened. But then at some point I heard the entire EP and was hooked. It's one of those records that I listen to repeatedly and then put aside for a while. But I find myself always coming back to it.

The combo of clever and original sampling, a keen but lo-fi production sense and haunting, melodic vocals really works. His other stuff is good too, especially "High Times." I heard Washed Out recently signed with Sub-Pop, good for him. I hope they help him get to the next level, he deserves it.

CLUB MARS, NYC 1989-1990





I spent way too much time at this place as a kid in 1989, but damn it was fun.
