Out My Window

Released

Koushik Ghosh’s career was so fleeting that it seems almost like a vaguely remembered but pleasant dream. After getting a break in the early ’00s collaborating with Dan Snaith’s Manitoba (before he had to change the name to Caribou), Koushik eventually emerged with his debut full-length, a concentrated blast of icy warmth that cut through the beachfront meditations of that year’s chillwave crop like gleaming winter sunshine. Think the graceful haze of Four Tet’s beat-driven ambience worked into funky-rhythmed psych-pop somewhere between Shuggie Otis and Yo La Tengo — assuming you even need to think about it when feeling it hits more directly.
