Washed out.

I don't know if you have ever noticed but when you log in to your youtube page you get a collection of videos Youtube seem to think you like. "Alex Ferguson and the balloon" Because you watched some shit when you were drunk, two months ago. Great stuff.
The only videos I try to watch with a principle are everythingisterrible.com and DominoRecords.
And since watching what Domino pumps out is been aright, Austra and Wild Beasts two great bands who I might of forgotten about if it weren't for this channel.  


Anyway due to Domino I have found a great newish band called Washed Out. Washed Out or Ernest Greene is the founder of this bands chill-wave feel. Something along the lines of The Engineers dreamy state meets The XX's Synth-pop. A lot of the comments on Youtube seem to think you need to be stoned or be making love to appreciated this music it its best form. Is this the hipsters talking infamously about their so-called lives. I doubt it, but remember kids you can still listen to great new music without being a fucking hipster. 


So if you wanna join the droves of ridiculously fashionable indie kids in Brighton, Washed Out are playing on Wed 10th August at The Haunt. Get tickets here.
I might be there looking ridiculously unfashionable and out of place.
