You know that feeling when you listen to an album, and it seems so good and familiar that you question whether it is really a new album at all, or if you have just mistaken a past classic? Like you are hearing covers of songs you’ve known for a while, that you just can’t quite put your finger on?
Well that is how I feel about Washed Out's new album Paracosm. It seems so familiar and right-on-point, but refreshing at the same time. It’s quite enjoyable. The album has a great feeling to it: almost a state of being. The lyrics (which are pretty much indecipherable), are apparently not that important. It’s just the ongoing vibe, which is fantastic. I love the album art too.

You probably will recognize "Feel it All Around" from the opening sequence from Portlandia.
Also, if you like those albums, don't overlook his 2nd album, Within and Without, which I apparently have forgotten about for about 2 years! It's overtly sexually charged album-art, gives new meaning to the title.
