Chillwave is not dead! Washed Out has a new album, Within and Without, coming out this summer through Sub Pop. I previously wrote a story about the album for Exclaim!, and now the single “Eyes Be Closed” has arrived.
Holy crap! This one is totally incredible. It’s part Boards of Canada-style IDM and part ’90s electronica (think Moby). And then there are some reverb-hazed guitars and cavernous vocal harmonies that are pure Washed Out.

Thanks so much for this. Any idea on what the lyrics are?
Sorry, no idea! “See the world clearly” was the only phrase I could make out.
Haha same here! I googled “washed out see the world clearly” hoping someone would have the full lyrics, but no luck :/ Glad I found your site though.
Chillwave is not dead! Thank the lord. Lovin’ this song.
