Still watching this 8 years later. So dope. I remember watching this for the first time....thinking.... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS EYES BE CLOSED?!?!?! I WANNA FIND IT NOW!
The way the lead singer and the girl on keyboards sound together is almost a haunting sound. Their voices merge together beautifully. I love this music....
i have totally been searching for music like this. always called this stuff "ambient music" but i guess it's called "chillwave" or something of the sort. love it! thank u portlandia!
It's so hard to listen to this in the middle of February. The entirety of last summer was spent blaring Washed Out through my car speakers and driving about through the hills. I kind of wish he would just release a new record every May so my summer is complete. 4 more months to go until warmth!
KEXP. So much good stuff, always listen to you from England. Think I oughta move out to Portland / Vancouver if I win the lottery... would do it without, but getting a job would be kinda difficult as I'm sure I could just go over and be a manager over there and with all due respect, don't want to work in a Maccy's / Burger King!
You don't sound like an idiot. Washed Out is the stage name for Ernest Greene. It used to be just him when performing live, but now he has a band when performing live.
they did another session with kexp a few weeks back and playd soft along with get up,before and far away. its only on their website though, hope you find it :)
Still watching this 8 years later. Such a killer set. First time I heard Eyes Be Closed. So good!
I think only him and ( I believe) his wife are still in the band.

one of the best bands i've ever seen live. absolutely incredible
I love this band!! I listen to this while I working on programming projects.
Wasn't expecting such a great live performance, loved it, floating on a river of feelings right now :)
The way the lead singer and the girl on keyboards sound together is almost a haunting sound. Their voices merge together beautifully. I love this music....
I'm sure that is one of the reasons he is married to her :)
It's funny because I think she tends to fuck up the vocals harmonies.
yeah she does, but it's still 10x better than their later work/performances IMO
haunting to the point where she is out of tune at times...
Paved the way for lots of new sounds
This set will never get old
this guy is def the best kexp host...hands down.
Still watching. This set is sooo good!
Too good to be forgotten
You and I.. my favorite
The first time I ever heard Eyes Be Closed....I was like... What the hell is this?!??! Love it!
It's one thing to hear this in earbuds and another thing to see it being played. This is amazing!
9 years down and still the go-to artist to chill out to at 4 am.
For what its worth, this live performance sold me on these guys. Great show!
Nothing like listening to ( Soft ) have a smoke and just drive ! ahhhh!! best thing ever !
i like what you did there KEXP - you "washed out" your video for Washed Out lol
thelolcat100 yeah, it's off like an early mpg4 from Hi8.
Exceptional, great music, I don't know who the singer is. I do know he could melt my heart away
Ernest Greene
i have totally been searching for music like this. always called this stuff "ambient music" but i guess it's called "chillwave" or something of the sort. love it! thank u portlandia!

I've seen that drummer perform with multiple bands.
Must be a studio musician.
He’s in a group called 80’s porn mustache
These guys are awesome I listen to them in my car all the time now!
Still one of my favorite sets ever
I think i fallen in love again !!
that version of feel it all around is sooo huge
Simply beautiful

Love this version of You & I. Wish they had a studio version similar to how they played it here

perfect
Tremendous.... !!!
...demais!

couldn't agree more
moving to seattle because of this radio station. why can't they play this music here ugh.
I hope he is playing during either in the morning or late at night in the Mojave or Gobi at Coachella - this would be epic nap time music
"eyes be closed" was the best from this set :D
Eyes be closed was SICK!!!!
Reminds me of the soundtrack from Cruel intentions and also Ulrich Schnauss. So back to the sixties.
great
Whoah! Totally different from the first time I saw Washed Out two years ago when it was just him and a laptop. Nice!
you are soo cool.
dope
HEY! OKAY GO IS AWESOME!
Sheesh.
Agreed! Nor do we in the Four Corners...lol I live in New Mexico..
I really like this interviewer.
you can stream it from their website kay ee ex pee dot oh arr gee!
the shit gives the best vibes
O, mi G singer Favoritee :D
this live version is great, the drum sounds better than on the album IMO
Thank you, I really wanted to skip the talking parts :)
"Feel it All Around" by Washed Out
how fun would it be to play in this band
Soaring harmonic vocals real soulful like
I love you kexp! But not as much as i love Washed Out.
His bass line for Hold Out sounded better in the album version than it did here... who knew just one extra note could ruin a riff.
So weird listening to a totally different version of Feel It All Around, still good though
+Luis A. Sanchez Yeah
Its awesome
Enjoying themselves
He's a genius as well.
Did Portlandia use their songs as a theme? I swear it sounds just like it.
+sisco9soccer yeah
+sisco9soccer Now if you blast feel it all around in Portland niggas going to be like "ayyyyeee lmao"
Feel it all around and eyes be closed (:
Oh yea by the way this sounds awesome with a monoplat system in a small trauck its so awesome i feel it all around me!
I love how the saturation on the video is lowered a little bit. Very washed out.
13:46 Feel it all around!
indeed ;)
I believe he's trying to concentrate, why does he need to keep up appearances? He's just there to play the way he's expected to. Which is damn well.
La preparatoria...
No worries...you're reply didn't go anywhere either, but I understand ;)
Complete endorphin release
❤😊
He's a nice boy
they should have the chain gang of 1974 play on the kexp studio
they really should lmao
