Atlanta producer Ernest Greene chillwave/bedroom synth pop project Washed Out has announced the release of his fourth studio album 'Purple Noon'.
The follow-up to 2017’s Mister Mellow, was once again wrote, recorded, and produced by Greene, with mixing handled by frequent collaborator Ben H. Allen. It will be out on August 7 via Sub Pop. Pre-order your copy here.
Production of the album followed a brief stint of writing for other artists (most notably with Sudan Archives on her debut Athena) which enabled Greene to explore genres like R&B and modern pop for the first time. These brighter, more robust sounds made their way into the songs of Purple Noon and mark a new chapter in Greene’s growth both as a producer and songwriter. The vocals are front and center, tempos are slower, beats bolder, and overall, a more comprehensive depth of dynamics that has yet to be heard on a Washed Out record. One can hear the luxuriousness of Sade, the sonic bombast of Phil Collins, and the lush atmosphere of the great Balearic beat classics.

About the track, the band have posted: "A secret love that takes two teenagers to an abandoned shoreline house where they can finally be alone for once.
The girl, who's forced into a relationship with the popular heartthrob Prom King dickhead that her parents love and adore, finds herself secretly in love with a guy who's never gotten the time of day from any girl he's ever been remotely interested in. They frequent an abandoned shoreline house as its the only place they can be alone with each other. This place becomes their safe-house, their hideout, their harbor of love."
