Our pals over at Time Out just premiered another track from Ernest Greene’s upcoming ‘Amor Fati’ 12″ single. After “Call It Off”, the original Washed Out song we shared last week, comes this super heavy, brooding (and needless to say, beautiful) molestation by Clams Casino. @clammyclams is without doubt one of our favourite producers in
Peaking Lights LIVE In London + A C I D Soundsystem + LIVE on WFMU
Here’s a reminder of Peaking Lights’ upcoming visit to London (as well as a few other dates in Manchester, Paris and Amsterdam around the same time.) As well as playing ‘936’ live for the first time in Europe, Aaron and Indra will also be doing a special party at Soho’s Phonica on November 30th –
Peaking Lights on WFMU
Aaron and Indra (and of course, Miko) dropped into the studios of WFMU in Jersey City recently to lay down a guest DJ set whilst in town for the making of the follow up to ‘936’ (recording of which is going on right NOW!) – playing tracks by Flipper, Belbury Poly, Julian Lynch, Lucky Dragons
NSFW: Peaking Lights – All The Sun That Shines Bizarre XXX Fan Vid
Just stumbled across this interesting interpretation of Peaking Lights’ 936 highlight “All The Sun That Shines”, courtesy of a ‘particularly enthusiastic’ fan. NSFW or around children or people of good taste in the general sense but we dig the thought (if not the slightly dodgy seventies hardcore porno so much!!!) Once again, NSFW!!! –
New Washed Out – “Call It Off” + John Maus and The Sandwitches join bill in London
Here’s a ’til-now unheard cut from the ‘Within and Without’ recording sessions by Washed Out. “Call It Off” goes a little harder than some of the tracks that made the W&W grade but still retains all the elegant, nuanced poise that makes Ernest Greene’s debut album endure as autumn wears on. Washed Out – Call
Peaking Lights remix Ford & Lopatin and Gold Panda
Between playing 936 out and about for the first time, prepping the record’s European release (coming at you on November 21st) and getting ready to record their follow up (studio time starts at the beginning of next month), it’s been a pretty busy time for Peaking Lights recently. Not too busy, though, that they couldn’t
Washed Out – Pitchfork. TV “Surveillance” Session
Washed Out was recently captured performing this sweet, intimate version of Within and Without single “Eyes Be Closed” by the stylishly voyueristic cameras of Pitchfork.TV’s Surveillance series. Watch the footage exclusively here now. The very last copies of the song on 12″, backed with remixes by Grimes, Star Slinger and Lovelock can also be scooped
Listen: Peaking Lights remix Smith Westerns
In somewhat of a family affair, our newest signings, Peaking Lights, have dreamt up this beautifully blunted, zonked out dub rendition of our first signings, Smith Westerns — tripping out the latest S Dubz single (the jubilant, glam “End of the Night”) into a dank psych fug. You wanna be high for this! Pick up
Now Showing: Washed Out “Amor Fati” video
The romantic new Yoonha Park-directed video for Washed Out’s “Amor Fati” is now showing over in the rather showbiz climes of Entertainment Weekly in the US. Check it out and bemoan the fact your life probably isn’t a carefree romp around a glorious nordic party isle NOW! As previously reported, Washed Out is to release
Peaking Lights: The story so far
It’s not often that we’ll devote a whole news story to an artist bio being written but Aaron and Indra acheived the possible today in making us love them even more when they sent over this self-penned account of the Peaking Lights story up to now. Read it and (if you’re like us, probably literally)
Washed Out to release “Amor Fati” 12″ + new dates in Europe this Autumn
Following a pretty triumphant run across the continent in August that saw him sell out almost every show of a near month-long run, Ernest Greene is bringing Washed Out back to Europe this November. The run starts at the inaugural Pitchfork Paris event on the 27th and culminates with the band’s biggest European show to
Peaking Lights – Mixxed Up
In celebration of the recent news of Peaking Lights’ signing to Weird World (and our friends Mexican Summer in the US for the duo’s next record), Aaron and Indra have put together another of their DEEP eclectic, globe-trotting / crate-digging monster mixes. Educate / emancipate yourselves for eighty five minutes below. A special prize to
