Paracosm

Washed Out

A lush, pastoral evolution of chillwave. Over fifty vintage instruments and field recordings create a sun-drenched, psychedelic garden of sound.

It sounds like a botanical garden made of vintage synthesizers.

A radiant, sun-drenched sense of peace that feels like a physical sanctuary from the modern world.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The seamless transition from the chirping birds of Entrance into the bright, strummed optimism of It All Feels Right.
The way the title track Paracosm builds into a sprawling, six-minute psychedelic odyssey that feels like a physical landscape.
The shimmering, harp-like synth arpeggios that anchor the mid-section of Weightless.
