Washed Out - Don't Give Up

Another new single from Washed Out a.k.a. Ernest Greene, and a more instant pleasure than the first single off his forthcoming second album. Whereas "It All Feels Right" veered a bit in a new, poppier direction (it's very good, mind you), new single "Don't Give Up" is more of an unapologetic summer tune that gives you an immediate, breezy rush, and is slightly reminiscent of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Summertime", which is not at all a bad thing. This is "dream pop" as it should be, and you just know it goes down great with an ice cold beer in your hand, or maybe a mojito? Both songs also bode exceedingly well for the album Paracosm that is scheduled for an August 12th release.
