Washed Out in 6 easy steps!




Ingredients:

Sampler x1 (x2 if you want to look like you are working hard at this)
Reverb plug-in (make sure it's got some huge settings like 'cathedral' and 'stadium')
Electric guitar (Don't worry you won't be making anything up on this)
Voice
Panda Bear Record

Instructions:

2. Use your sampler. Sample this:



3. Slow it down

4. Add some reverb. Shitloads of it actually - (Use setting 'Stadium')

5. Copy the spikey synth part with your guitar.

6. Record your vocals we prepared earlier.

You should have something like this:



Congratulations, you made Washed Out's 'Feel It All Around in 6 easy steps!

NB: Tally Ho actually really digs Washed Out and his jam 'Feel It All Around'.
