Akasha is a fusion of deep groove reggae, blistery blues rock, and hip hop
flavors with pure melodies and rich vocal harmonies. Stylistically, Akasha's
base elements are never forced but always flow seamlessly from one song to
the next. Akasha's diverse approach gives birth to an unmistakable variety
of heavy, raw grooves reminiscent of Bob Marley and the Wailers, Jimi
Hendrix, Muddy Waters, and the Roots.
Akasha unifies their diversity of styles through the lush vocal work of
Cosmos Ray. His performances are riveting and personal, as though he is
speaking directly to you. The quartet is anchored by Doug Bistrow's thumping
upright bass and Mikey August's solid drum work. Scott Moss' dynamic
electric guitar combines with them to create a thick and colorful tapestry
of rhythm and sound.
AKASHA: the first of five material elements of which the physical universe
is composed (earth, air, fire, water, and akasha). The element of
omnipresent spiritual power that permeates the universe. It is related to
outer space, inner space, the unmanifest, and the life force.
