Washed Out to release new visual album Mister Mellow this month

Mister Mellow is described as "a fully immersive multimedia experience" that drifts a considerable distance from his earlier material and expands upon the ideas of last month's comeback "Get Lost". Expect noises from "free jazz, house, hip-hop, and psych", with healthy doses of vocal samples and a keen eye on The Millenial Generation.

A press release explains: "In classic Millennial fashion, most young adults' perception of their own lives are overblown and overdramatised to the point of absurdity - as are the many ways they distract themselves from the insecurities faced on a daily basis (see social media, fantasy, drugs, music). Mister Mellow shines a light on the humour found in this paradox - how we can be so bored and unhappy in what is often a very privileged, contented life?"

The album has been created across two years almost totally by Greene - his only collaborator was engineer Cole MGN. A full-length "visual counterpart" will arrive alongside Mister Mellow that explores the gamut of animation; it apparently serves as a reaction to the "sterile, hyper-realitic renderings of most digital-based art."

North American live dates are already penned in for the summer; UK shows will be confirmed for the autumn.
