He lays down the tracks with unhurried drum loops that create a floor for his troubling songs. These drum sounds add a contrast, as most of the melodies float and fade throughout never feeling very grounded. […]

Before / Washed Out
Washed Out‘s retro-nostalgic vid for Before, from the Within and Without album. Great stuff. This artist is on fiyah.
