Indie-Pop pioneer Ernest Green aka Washed Out is back after a brief release hiatus with a fresh single out via Stones Throw Records. His latest release “Get Lost” is nothing short of amazing, blending his trademark lo-fi indie sound with a sun-soaked house vibe that conjures feelings of Todd Terje‘s “Strandbar” while still retaining his trademark aesthetic.

The natural progression to a classic house inspired record signals the artist’s growing maturity and should elevate his live festival performances this summer, garnering new fans and mirroring the success of lo-fi partner Toro Y Moi‘s side project “Les Sins“ which earned him a coveted and now classic Boiler Room performance. Let’s not forget that his landmark single “Feel It all Around You” popularised as the theme of IFC’s ‘Portlandia’ was directly sampled from Italo-Disco legend Gary Lowe’s ” Want You”.
