TDP Recommends: “Feel it All Around” by Washed Out

Ernest Greene likes to call himself “Washed Out,” which doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense, but to each his own. Washed Out specializes in a genre called chillwave; it’s a mix of synths, filtered vocals, and simple melodic loops. If that doesn’t sound 80s enough to you yet, most chillwave songs are lo-fi. Chillwave is really a genre of hit-or-miss songs; they are either memorable or serve as less than adequate background music. “Feel it All Around” is certainly the former, however,  and so is the rest of the EP Life of Leisure. “Feel it All Around” has a summer feel, but listening to it in midst of winter won’t offend anybody.

When it’s snowing out, put on this song. Feeling the 6-12 inches of snow all around? Feel it All Around.
