KOSHARI
"Disenchanted"
Independent

Five tracks and nearly 25 minutes long, Koshari's debut CD "Disenchanted" serves as a calling card for a progressive rock band with considerable promise.
The local quartet kicks things off with "Applaud the Fraud," a neo-psychedelic ballad that combines pin-wheeling imagery with a layered and languorous sound. Singer Barbara Western has a flair for seeming both scolding and empathetic in the same breath, especially when the recurring guitar gives way to a wash of overtones. From there, the rhythmic tension rises, dissipates and rises again, as Western unfolds a series of curious tales and scenarios. The best of the lot is the after-hours encounter "Freeze." When Western isn't hooking you with lines like "He followed me from the club and pulled me aside again," her bandmates--guitarist Bryan Baxter, bassist Jeffry Cudlin and drummer Danny Ralston--are busy creating interesting sonic diversions.
Judging from the CD alone, it's impossible to tell whether Koshari will develop a truly distinctive sound. But for now at least, they appear to be headed in the right direction.
