Heard on the show
“Eyes Be Closed”
EKHO Sonic Chill #2 · song 10 · Within and Without
Ernest Weatherly Greene Jr. of Perry, Georgia — the artist Pitchfork crowned the "Godfather of Chillwave." Sun-bleached synth-pop sung through tape wobble and reverb. Within and Without (2011), his debut LP, was produced by Ben H. Allen and debuted at No.26 on the Billboard 200; "Eyes Be Closed" opens it, with Mark Cobb on rototoms. Odd footnote: the album's cover photo later turned up in Cosmopolitan illustrating a piece on sex positions, which Greene noted "wasn't sexual at all and it wasn't supposed to be provocative." His fifth album, Notes from a Quiet Life, followed in 2024.
