Description
Hussain Bokhari debuts on Mood Hut Records with “Possessions,” a heartfelt collection from a longtime friend of the label and a quiet legend in Vancouver’s underground scene. Born in Bangkok and now based in Vancouver, Bokhari crafts intimate, intuitive music in a minimalist home setup. His sound recalls the atmospheric guitar work of Durutti Column, reimagined in a Pacific Northwest setting.
Born in Bangkok but calling Vancouver home, Bokhari creates intuitively and freely, and you can hear it in the way « Pull Me Up » rolls out its plush carpet bedroom boogie, or how « Bangkok Boy »‘s Thai vocals carry childhood memories across oceans and decades, while « Whatever Counts » sounds like Durutti Column moved from Whitworth Street to Cordova.
This is music for the spaces between – between cities, between eras, between yourself and the person you were, all held together by a minimalist studio setup and maximum heart approach that makes « Possessions » feel like an invitation into Bokhari’sparticular way of seeing.
