Merely dropping the name of a genre in front of the words “is dead” is such a lazy form of critique in a music world where classics remain classics and modern releases seem to be pressed on some perceived perishable medium. The internet, as kids call it these days, seems to think the Hipster Runoff-coined “chillwave” is dead, merely because the boom of similar artists existed so blatantly and fashionably from 2009-2010. That’s simply not true, with artists like Toro Y Moi and Slow Magic re-inventing sound in a post-apocalyptic America (the world ended right?). Washed Out is no different, and Within and Without proves lush, “washed out” soundscapes over phat beats is never a bad thing in the huge world of electronic music.

Far away from the arid home of Southern California’s music festivals, San Francisco’s Outside Lands takes place deep within the temperate confines of the city’s Golden Gate Park. Noticeably cooler than most festivals, Outside Lands lacks the relentless heat and soul-sucking humidity that seem to go hand-in-hand with the festival experience. What it gains in comfort for the cooler temperature, it gives back in sheer size and distance. The space within Golden Gate Park is huge. The polo field space where the main stage resides (”The Lands End Stage”) is one of the largest spaces for a main stage imaginable stretching to the far end of the valley. As was warned, it’s a hike from stage to stage. Running to catch fifteen minutes of a hip indie band seems less appealing after numerous trips around the sloping fields. Still, this year’s event is completely sold out, and fans looked undaunted, joyously bopping from stage to stage.
