Washed Out is the stage name for Georgia-based singer/songwriter and record producer Ernest Greene. The artist is known for pioneering the “chillwave” movement with his first EPs released in 2009.

Deerhunter formed in Atlanta back in 2001, led by charismatic frontman Bradford Cox. The band also features drummer/keyboardist Moses Archuleta, guitarist Lockett Pundt, bassist Josh McKay and keyboardist/saxophonist Javier Morales.
The group’s latest album, “Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared,” was released early this year.
