Out My Window brings to LA hip-hop label Stones Throw a different kind of four elements: water, air, fire and earth, with folk- and soul-sampling grooves that recall the dusty, organic feel of psychedelic beatmakers like DJ Shadow and Four Tet. Naptime fantasies uncurl like incense smoke amidst shifting configurations of leafy guitars, sun-warmed horns and pine-cone-crisp drums. The Velvet Underground and the Beach Boys prove unlikely spiritual guides along this tour of pastoral soul and breakbeat reveries.
