Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #44: Washed Out’s ‘Mister Mellow’

December 2, 2017 Albumism Staff

#44
Washed Out | Mister Mellow
Stones Throw | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes

According to Danielle Ciofani: “Mister Mellow takes Washed Out’s signature psychedelia and plunges it deep into the vaults of instrumental hip-hop. Many things about his third studio album are consistent with previous efforts; Ernest Greene’s elusive vocals and dreamy production are both out in full force. The instrumentals on Mister Mellow are, however, what make it distinctive and interesting....Following his first two LPs (2011’s debut Within and Without; 2013’s Paracosm) released via the famed Seattle indie label Sub Pop, Mister Mellow is Washed Out’s first release on Stones Throw Records, widely acclaimed for instrumental hip-hop releases such as J Dilla’s Donuts. Accordingly, Mister Mellow has much more of a head-bopping hip-hop vibe than previous albums.”
