Washed Out, the moniker for the chillwave trailblazer Ernest Greene, is back with his fifth studio album, ‘Notes From a Quiet Life’, set to make waves on 28th June via Sub Pop Records. Anchoring the album’s anticipatory surge is the emotive single ‘The Hardest Part’, paired with a cutting-edge video directed by Paul Trillo.

Anticipation is ripe as Washed Out, the quintessential voice of chillwave, heralds his return with the announcement of his fifth studio offering, ‘Notes From a Quiet Great Life’. The album, which arrives on June 28th, already has fans buzzing about its lead single, ‘The Hardest Part’, a dreamy track that delves into the bittersweet thrums of nostalgia and the aches of love lost.

What’s particularly stirring about this new release is the collaboration with visionary director Paul Trillo for the single’s music video. The video showcases an avant-garde fusion of emotion and technology, utilizing OpenAI’s Sora to propel storytelling into a new, surreal dimension.

Here’s what Ernest Greene had to say about the song and its accompanying visual: ‘The Hardest Part’ is at once a tapestry of past sentiments and a narrative of a lost connection. Under Paul Trillo’s deft direction, these themes are transformed into visual poetry, crafting a story that’s nostalgic, melancholic, yet invigorating and utterly unique. The use of AI in this capacity isn’t just innovative—it’s the start of a whole new cinematic language that’s both strange and intimately human.
