i have contacted a private investigator to solve the puzzle on who here actually heard Washed Out first. if you find someone going through your garbage at 2am, don't worry. i sent him.
And that's when I first heard that song.
The first paragraph is disturbingly reminiscent of a classic Onion article:These reviews so far have been something approaching ludicrous. Why not just review the album instead of trying to posit "chillwave" as some kind of objective, anachronistic entity that is barely clinging to life? This one is particularly awful:

Tiny Mix Tapes said:Despite the inevitable and rather unjust critical backlash, the Freudian gender policing inherent in the critical opprobrium that soon rained down upon these (mostly male) starry-eyed and hopeless romantics, there was not a small amount of work produced at this time which was deeply affective/effective.

This is the best review I've read of this album so far.I couldn't give two fucking shits if chillwave "died". The album's good. End of fucking story
Spoken Word
The thing that I really don't understand is why so many reviews are treating 2009 as though it belongs in some kind of time capsule. One would think that it was 100 years ago.
CD in hand. Sounds even better now.
I like the picture of the tree that's on the CD better than the cover.
I'm sure I will like any piece of artwork included more than the cover.
Meanwhile, on a Texas doorstep:
And you ain't never gonna see the Nile anyhow.I had never seen a shooting star before.
If it's any consolation to Imps and 1bl00dz, my copy arrived, but my parents were visiting, and I had to spend my entire evening with family. How dare they ruin my music listening time?!
