Ernest Greene “Washed Out” – Musician, songwriter and record producer
Ernest Greene “Washed Out” is a 33 year-old electronic musician, singer and producer from Georgia, who debuted in 2011, with his first album, the hugely successful Within and Without, and followed in 2013, with his second album, Paracosm. A graduated librarian, Greene started making music in his bedroom, while completely out-of-luck when trying to find a regular job for himself. Things did an unexpected turn when, all of a sudden, his songs gained momentum, and a successful following in his Myspace page soon attracted great reviews, as well as the attention of renowned musicians and producers in the electronic music scene, and very soon the fortunes of the down-on-his-luck aspiring musician forever changed. Now being able to do what he loves the most in life – to write and to record music – electronic music fans and enthusiasts can be grateful to the lack of luck of Ernest Greene in trying to establish an ordinary life for himself, since all of us are winners, being able to listen to his magnificent music, that honors the new wave of the 21st century electronica genre, in his very personal and beautiful compositions.

Within and Without, Washed Out’s first album, released in July 12, 2011
Released in July 2011, Washed Out’s first album, Within and Without, attracted great reviews from all corners of the electronic music scene, being scored at three and a half to four and half stars, in the majority of reviews. After two years of its release, it has sold almost 90.000 copies in the United States alone, establishing Greene as one of the most fresh and solid new promises of electronica in the present day. Although only forty minutes long, the album really don’t disappoint: if you are looking for calm and transcendent melodies, melancholically balanced, proficient and pop-infused, Washed Out really delivers a great masterpiece that proves itself to be really worthwhile listening.
Paracosm, Washed Out’s second album, released in August 7, 2013
In 2013, Greene followed, with his second full length, Paracosm, released in August 2013, which also received very positive and enthusiastic reviews, by music critics and fans alike. Although a little more transcendent than its predecessor, it continues Greene’s calm and peaceful musical atmosphere, consolidating a style that can be seen as a peculiar result of his very personal and ambitious compositions. Although being mostly associated with the Chillwave movement – by the nature of the transcendent and very serene atmospheres of his music –, Washed Out’s songs are very infused with a lot of pop subgenres, like synth pop, dream pop and indie pop, and flirts a little with other genres as well, like soft rock and trip hop, making his style a very interesting mixture for the underground scene, especially when related to the electronic music.
Ernest Greene “Washed Out”
Well, it’s impossible to know precisely what’s going to be his next move, but all of his fans and admirers are waiting to see. Of course, we expect in 2016 to see a new album, maybe, although Ernest Greene didn’t spoke about this possibility yet. With more than 310.000 likes on his Facebook page, certainly, the popularity of Washed Out’s beautiful music will continue to grow, as the electronic music scene is anxious to hear new material, and listen to news, related to Washed Out. Well, I certainly wish Ernest Greene a very long and prolific career, as I want to keep listening to his wonderful and melodic music, ever!
