“In some ways, I feel like I've always dabbled in nostalgia. It's just what I do; it comes naturally.”

American singer, songwriter, and record producer

Ernest Weatherly Greene Jr., known professionally as Washed Out, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer associated with the rise of chillwave in the late 2000s. He is best known for his 2009 song "Feel It All Around," which helped define the sound of the genre. His music is commonly linked with bedroom pop, chillwave, dream pop, and synth-pop. "Feel It All Around" became a reference point for chillwave, and Pitchfork later called him the "Godfather of Chillwave" for that role in shaping its early sound.
