Koushik
Koushik's album Out My Window will be released in 2008. Track list & date will be announced soon. Koushik specializes in making that hazy, hip-hop-based downbeat sh*t
that you could easily compare to contemporaries such as Four Tet (who
released Koushik's first single on his Text label), RJD2, and DJ Shadow.
What sets Koushik apart from the others is a beautiful '60s psych-pop
element that tends to pervade throughout. It shows itself in the spacious
panned strings, acoustic guitars, and harpsichords that fall in and out
of each other; and the beats have a harder regimented classic true school
hip-hop sound, that Fourtet and Prefuse tend to stray away from. But what
I truly love about this record is Koushik's voice. His singing is soft
and mixed way down in the center of the track, sounding like the voice
choirs you'd hear on one of those old Percy Faith or 101 Guitars from
the late-'60s. If you're a fan of any of the aforementioned artists, you
need this record.
