Washed Out- It All Feels Right

Today is the first day of summer and there is no better music to play today than chillwave. And who better to to provide that music than Washed Out. After all, he produced the perfect summer song in 2011 with “Feel It All Around”- anybody who has ever watched Portlandia is familiar with this song.

I think I like Ernest Greene better than the other artists who combined electronic music with psychedelia to make this new chill music back in 2009 (although Neon Indian comes close).

“It All Feels Right” is Washed Out’s latest single and is one of the tracks on the new LP Paracosm which will be out sometime in August via Sub Pop.

New Music: MillionYoung- Lovin

MillionYoung is Mike Diaz, a producer from South Florida who makes some sweet chillwave music. His new song, Lovin,  is a great track to listen to while sitting round at home on a cold day dreaming of warmer climes and wishing you were walking down the beach with a beautiful girl. Download the song below:

MillionYoung will release a new album, Variable, on February 12th just in time for Valentine's Day.

For fans of Washed Out and Toro y Moi

New Music: Teen Daze- New Life

Vancouver producer Teen Daze is one busy guy. After releasing the album All of Us, Together in May, the chillwave star is back with a new single called New Life. The sleepy single is perfect for lazing around trying to catch the last few rays of sunshine before the chilliness of Autumn sets in. Listen below via Soundcloud.

Teen Daze will release his second album this year, The Inner Mansions, on November 6th via Lefse Records.

New Band- Heavenly Beat

The other day I wrotea post on a new band called Ice Choir- the side project of Pains of Being Pure at Heart drummer Kurt Feldman. Like Ice Choir, Heavenly Beat is a synth driven new project from an a member of an already established New York band. This time it is John Pena, the bass player from jangle indie rock band Beach Fossils. The music has a Balearic chillwave vibe perfect for the beach or lying in bed listening on a pair of headphones.

The new LP from Heavenly Beat, Talent, is available now via Captured Tracks.

Here two songs from the album below.

New Music-Diana Born Again

This band is starting to get some serious buzz. At least the Guardian has picked up on this band and featured them on their music site yesterday. The best part of these guys are that they are from Toronto. The band sounds like late seventies pop mixed with modern day chillwave which makes sense because they employ Destroyer's saxophonist Joseph Shabason.
