Washed Out




Dot to dot festival is a musical event that I always make sure I attend, so I'm very pleased to see that artist Washed Out is making an appearance on the line up. Washed Out is the musical project of artist Ernest Greene of Georgia, South Carolina.  The signature sound of Washed Out has been termed as chill wave and has earned comparisons to Brooklyns' Neon Indian. Greene creates songs that possess a laid back and dreamy feel, due to Greenes' ethereal vocal which is layered over synth soundscapes and minimal drums. The tracks are perfect to accompany a hot summers day.

Washed Out is set to tour the US with Beach House throughout April, and will be in the UK for Dot to dot festival at the following dates:

30th May - Nottingham
31st May - Manchester
