Washed Out - Purple Noon

Washed Out is Atlanta-based producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ernest Greene. Over three enchanting critically-lauded albums and an EP his music has proved both transportive and visual each release inviting listeners into immersive self-contained universes.

With Purple Noon his fourth album and his return to Sub Pop he delivers the most accessible Washed Out creation to date. For Purple Noon Greene again wrote recorded and produced the entirety of the album with mixing handled by frequent collaborator Ben H. Allen (Paracosm Within and Without).

Production of the album followed a brief stint of writing for other artists (most notably Sudan Archives) which enabled Greene to explore genres like R&B and modern pop. These brighter more robust sounds made their way into the songs of Purple Noon and mark a new chapter for Greene as a producer and songwriter. The vocals are front and center tempos are slower beats bolder and there s a more comprehensive depth of dynamics. Capism of Washed Out s oeuvre taking the music to dazzling new heights.
