Earnest Greene bka Washed Out returns with a magical new single, out today on Sub Pop. Once Greene’s original concept for “Too Late” was hindered due COVID-19, he engaged his fans on instagram for sunset vids and the response was staggering: “I went in thinking if I got 100 clips, I’d have enough to make the video I wanted to make. 30 minutes in, I had the 100 clips, and a few days in, I had over 1,200 clips – from London, Bali, Okinawa, Ann Arbor, Dubrovnik and a few hundred other places around the world. It was pretty amazing for me to see the vids and pics flood in like they did.” Check the resulting worldwide footage of all the stunning destinations during real magic hours below, a proper companion to the song’s glowing blissed-out vibe.

April 9, 2020 Phoebe Bridgers announces new LP ‘Punisher’, shares new single “Kyoto”
Phoebe Bridgers shares the Nina Ljeti-directed CGI video for new song “Kyoto“, from her forthcoming sophomore record Punisher, coming June 19th on Dead Oceans. Bridgers says this about the track:
“This song is about impostor syndrome. About being in Japan for the first time, somewhere I’ve always wanted to go, and playing my music to people who want to hear it, feeling like I’m living someone else’s life. I dissociate when bad things happen to me, but also when good things happen. It can feel like I’m performing what I think I’m supposed to be like. I wrote this one as a ballad first, but at that point I was so sick of recording slow songs, it turned into this.”
