Washed Out‘s Ernest Greene, a synthpop maestro with a knack for magnificent melancholy, continues to expand on his musical foundation after a handful of EPs and two remarkable, downtempo LP releases – 2011’s Within and Without and last year’s Paracosm. Fans of the excellent “Portlandia” will recognize his Life of Leisure track “Feel All Around” from the show’s local-scene intro montage, while those already familiar with Greene can attest to the hypnotic gravity of his sound.
In an exclusive behind the scenes video, Greene goes backstage at The Fillmore in San Francisco and breaks down the process and inspirations behind making his first album, and how his recording process has evolved so that regardless of playback system, “the song works.” Check it out below, exclusively on Crave:
