Washed Out - High Times

I don't really know anything about Washed Out except that it's one guy who has only been making music for a couple of months, has only played like two live shows, and somehow has all this hipster hype surrounding him.

Washed Out makes chilled out trip-pop (I think I just made that word up, which I'm pretty sure means I'm a real music journalist now) with lots of looped, chopped-up, fuzzed-out samples, mixed with elements of shoegaze and synthpop. I think he often uses "found sounds" as well, adding to the album's unpretentious charm. these songs are simple and incredibly satisfying.
