Title: Anyone heard the new Koushik (Stones Throw)?

I have no idea who this dude is, but I'm always looking for some new music that will broaden my hip-hop horizons given that so many of today's offerings are throwaway. Anyway, he's on Stones Throw, which I guess gives him a good pedigree to start with. His new album, 'Out My Window', is really, really good - half-instrumental, half based around theses weird, airy vocals. The music sounds like folk meets Enya meets hip-hop. There's no easy way to describe it, and I imagine you have to be pretty open-minded to enjoy it, but if you like alternative hip-hop I'd absolutely recommend it.
