Washed Out - Purple Noon (Clear Loser Edition)

Ernest Greene (AKA Washed Out) wrote, recorded, and produced the entirety Purple Moon following a brief stint writing for other artists. This enabled Greene to explore genres like R&B and modern pop for the first time. These brighter sounds made their way into the songs of Purple Noon and mark a new chapter in Greene’s growth both as a producer and songwriter.

The vocals are front and center, tempos are slower, beats bolder, and overall, a more comprehensive depth of dynamics that has yet to be heard on a Washed Out record. One can hear the luxuriousness of Sade, the sonic bombast of Phil Collins, and the lush atmosphere of the great Balearic beat classics.
