Washed Out shares 'Paralyzed'

With his fourth album ‘Purple Noon’ arriving this Friday (7th August) via Sub Pop, Washed Out is sharing new track ‘Paralyzed’ alongside its intimate new vid.

Directed by Caroline Koning, the visuals are shot in her native Holland and show real-life couple Shay and Dorien. Speaking on the vid, she says, “Human contact, and something as simple as a touch, has new meaning in the context of today. These special times make the viewing experience of physical togetherness a different one, and I wanted to tap into that sentiment in a pure way. The couple we follow in the film capture this simplicity beautifully, and what we see on screen all happened very organically. Encapsulating a perhaps general longing for closeness through a very unpretentious narrative gives this spot a natural honesty that I think visualizes the track in a strong manner.”
