Ernest Greene is not the kind of name normally associated with pop glory, so this talented Georgian plies his trade under the more appropriate (actually, perfect for the sounds he creates) Washed Out.
Domino Records subsidiary Weird World will release a new album, Within And Without on July 11th, but the good people at the label haven’t sent us any music yet, no video either…we do, however, have a track listing, to whet your appetite:
1. Eyes Be Closed
2. Echoes
3. Amor Fati
4. Soft
5. Far Away
6. Before
7. You and I
8. Within And Without
9. A Dedication
A European tour immediately follows the release of the new album, with dates just confirmed:
Friday 15th July – Lovebox Weekender, London, UK
Saturday 16th July – Hultsfred Festival, Sweden
Sunday 17th July – Festival De Affaire, Netherlands
Thursday 4th August – Festaal Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany
Sunday 7th August – Nouveau Casino, Paris, France
Saturday 8th August – Deaf Institute, Manchester UK
Tuesday 9th August – Scala, London, UK
Recorded with acclaimed producer Ben Allen, whose production work encompasses Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavillion, Gnarls Barkley’s St. Elsewhere and Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter, Within And Without is a full realisation of the excitement Greene created with his first release, 2009’s Life Of Leisure EP, on the awesome Mexican Summer label.
We go back to that EP for our track of the day, the glorious ‘You’ll See It’. Watch this performance of the track at Pitchfork 2010 here:
