Caught these guys at CMJ last year. In truth, I wasn’t hugely impressed by the live show but this is more like it. At SXSW, they were Washed Out’s backing band at a few shows.The video was directed by Yoonha Park.

Wow, had no idea they played as Washed out’s backing band. Get Toro y moi on guitar and you have a chillwave super group right there.
Hmmmm… thats kinda nice. Feels fuzzy in my earhole.
