Koushik

Have you ever heard of Koushik? If not, it’s time you did. Koushik is a Canadian musician, of Indian decent, signed to the Stones Throw label. His style is very down tempo and at times almost ambient. I first found him just before the release of his album Be With, which was a collection of songs from various EPs he had released. He had several song on the Stones Throw 101 DVD. His voice can be heard on nearly all the tracks. It’s has an ethereal quality that hangs in the air. Be With is a perfect album for sitting back and letting your mind wander. Those of you who enjoy “herbal” relaxation will find his music perfect to let your mind slip away into. He’s recently released a second album titled Out My Window. While, I don’t feel it’s as strong as Be With it’s still an astounding album just the same. It’s like comparing RJD2s Deadringer to Since We Last Spoke, regardless of your preference they’re still two magnificent albums. So, you should to be listening to Koushik.
