Washed Out Debuts “Waking Up (Solar Eclipse Performance)”
Ahead of the release of his new album Notes From a Quiet Life, Washed Out has shared a video for “Waking Up (Solar Eclipse Performance).” The LP drops on June 28th via Sub Pop. After months of research and meticulous planning, Greene and director Jonah Haber collaborated to bring this one-take, never-before-seen live performance filmed in the path of full totality of the solar eclipse on location in Bandera, Texas, on April 8th, 2024. Washed Out will be heading out for a headlining US tour and festival dates, starting June 22nd in Ogden, UT.
With all the risks involved and no guarantee of success, Haber and Greene create a music video unlike any other. During those four minutes and eight seconds of full totality, the moon passed between the Sun and Earth, completely blocking the Sun and emulating the night. The performance allows the viewer to disengage from the outside world. The effect appears as if Washed Out is taking the stage inside a venue, using the moment of totality as nature’s dimmer until all you can focus on is Greene’s performance. It gives space for reflection, introspection, and an appreciation for the lack of control we have over nature and her force.
