I've decided to have a weekly posting called Intro Wednesday (or something cooler if I can come up with a better name). Intro Wednesday will be a day that I post about a band or artist I have been listening to or really love. I'm not claiming each one will be a completely new, cutting edge band you've never heard of. They might even be old or I might share an old song because I love going back to old album or song and remembering why I loved it so much in the first place. Either way, welcome to Intro Wednesday and I hope you will check back to see who I posted about.

So for my first post I'm gonna share an artist called Washed Out. I love this guy. His real name is Ernest Greene and he makes music that fits in the genere of chillwave. This is like electronic, flowing, easy listening dance music. It's really good and you should check out the genre itself. I first found out about him after watching one of my favorite shows Portlandia, for one of his songs is featured in the opening credits (it will be posted below). I had to know what the song was and I was opened up to a whole new world of beautiful music.

So far he has one E.P. out called Within and Without and his full length is called Life of Leisure. I recommend both for they won't disappoint. And here is a link to his tour dates.

This music and this song in particular is absolutely perfect for a wondrous, sunny day like today. Windows down, smoking on the front porch or chilling in your backyard. Buy from my store. I hope you enjoy.
