Washed Out feat. Caroline Polachek: You And I

There are so many odd business partners these days. I never thought Mountain Dew would be responsible for putting music out by Neon Indian or Chromeo but then Green Label Sound exists. There’s also the time I went to see Crystal Castles (also with Neon Indian) in Hollywood for free with complimentary food and drinks because it was sponsored by KIA. Now, KIA’s at it again but they’ve teamed up with Adult Swim Team this time. Anyone else find this extremely odd?

However, I can’t really say anything bad about partnerships like this when they bring great new music. As part of KIA’s team-up with Adult Swim Team, who have been providing a new track each week (and will continue to until they release the eighth single), Washed Out released his collaboration with Caroline Polacheck (of Chairlift) as the fifth single. In “You and I,” Washed Out continues to experiment with his chillwave sound but it sounds a lot fuller and more thought out than his hazy (but great) previous EP. Also, I’m just a big fan of Polacheck’s vocals.
