XLR8R

Vermont-based producer and longtime member of the Stones Throw family Koushik dropped his first release on the label four years ago, but is only now getting around to unleashing his debut album. Well worth the extended wait, Out My Window combines '60s pop sensibilities with '90s-era hip-hop beats, all of which are held in place by Koushik's unique voice, which he manipulates and arranges into ethereal patterns that give the entire album a truly dreamlike quality. This one is for lying on cushions and staring out the window on a Sunday afternoon.
