Song of the Day - August 17, 2005

The thing about Koushik's track "Pretty Soon" that caught my attention was the bass riff. It just reminded me of The Who's Entwistle, a quick succession of notes, that just seems to be the catalyst to move the song forward. The bass riff combined with the initial acoustic guitar work brought to mind Pete Townsend, but that is where comparisons to The Who end. The rest of the track is done in a hazy, jazzy, laidback style with practically whispered vocals. It also has a nonsensical chorus of "ba,bap,ba,ba,bap,ba...," which if done right I just can't resist. Click here to listen.
