Washed Out: 4.9
“I’m feeling chill,” said point-belaboring chillwaver Ernest Greene (aka Washed Out) without a trace of irony near the mid-point of his Sunday afternoon set. He was too chill by half, unfortunately. Life of Leisure‘s sleepy romance sounded, well, just sleepy; and Greene’s simple Mac-and-keys setup didn’t do the charisma-lacking Greene any favors, either. The side-stage communal vibes and post-thunderstorm glow seemed tailor made for Greene. But he was frequently drowned out by Girls’ overlapping set, which understandably turned away quite a few heads. Also: his dance moves were frighteningly similar to Andy Kaufman‘s. And not in a good way.

Lightning Bolt were my favorite set of the fest. I don’t generally like their music, but all the chillwave started to sound the same and they were by far the most refreshing act of the weekend. Totally awesome.
LCD rocked their set. I have to completely disagree and say that all my friends and daft punk is playing in my house were headbangers and crowd pleasers, but i’ll definitely concur with a 9.4 on this one.
[...] – Speaking of which, Flavorwire rated some sets from Pitchfork, Pitchfork-style [...]
sucka suck on that. Lightning Bolt was vastly overrated and unwelcome except from the violent goths with brain damage. JUST CHILL BRO
