#6. "Belong" - Washed Out
(Mirror Universe)

Ernest Greene is Washed Out."Belong", taken from his cassette only release, "High Times", eschews obvious cliches in the current 80's synth pop revivalism while still maintaining that era's summer vacation feel. The big drum roll, the chorus effect on the vocals, and the understated synth line are all used to stunning effect. The lo-fi quality of the recording is also very refreshing.
