Washed Out wrote "Amor Fati" himself, words and music, for Within and Without, his debut studio album, which Sub Pop released on July 6, 2011. The album opened at number 26 on the Billboard 200 on 15,000 copies in its first week and had sold 89,000 in America by July 2013.
Its cover has a story of its own. Washed Out licensed the photo from the New York photographer Martien Mulder after spotting it in an avant-garde photography magazine while touring Australia, believing the rights were his alone, and a month later the same image ran in Cosmopolitan beside an article about sex positions. He was let down: to him the picture was never sexual or provocative, and that use undercut what he felt it and the album stood for.
