This artist definitely has a sound of his own, and it's one that pleased me almost immediately! As the album review for
Out My Window on iTunes puts it, which I think is right on based on what I hear in this single,
Koushik weaves together a wide range of influences (hip-hop, '60s psychedelia and sunshine pop, early-70s singer/songwriters, the tripped-out jazz of the late '60s... ) ... It never lapses into simply mimicry or pastiche, though. Koushik is a master at making something new out of all the parts he liberates from the past....
Note: This U.S. single has the standard large spindle hole.
