Purple Noon, the fourth album from Washed Out, showcases Atlanta-based producer and songwriter Ernest Greene at his most accessible and expansive. Returning to Sub Pop for this 2020 release, Greene crafts immersive, sun-soaked soundscapes that blend his signature chillwave aesthetic with influences of R&B and modern pop. Written, recorded, and produced entirely by Greene, the album was mixed by longtime collaborator Ben H. Allen (Paracosm, Within and Without), bringing added clarity and depth to its dreamy, cinematic production.

Inspired by his recent songwriting work for artists like Sudan Archives, Greene infuses Purple Noon with bolder beats, richer dynamics, and a stronger vocal presence. Slower tempos and shimmering synth textures create an atmospheric yet intimate journey, reflecting Washed Out’s signature transportive style while evolving into new, confident territory. This vinyl LP pressing is perfect for fans of ambient pop and laid-back electronic music, capturing Washed Out at dazzling new heights of lush, romantic sonic exploration.
