Koski, Darius
What Was Once Is By And Gone
DARIUS KOSKI has spent nearly three decades building a body of work as a member of Swingin' Utters and Filthy Thieving Bastards, as well as launching a solo career with his 2015 debut album Sisu. Much has been made of KOSKIs prolific nature, but it is his work ethic that allows him to constantly push boundaries and expand his creative plate. Now we bring you KOSKIs most expansive work to date in What Was Once Is By And Gone. While the debut album Sisu leaned heavy on KOSKIs Americana Influences, What Was Once Is By And Gone sees KOSKI taking an even more eclectic approach, celebrating the diverse nature of his musical acuity. Though not a concept record, What Was Once Is By And Gone feels cinematic, with layers of instruments building a distinct world, using instrumental pieces to shift the albums tone and tenor like a director uses a film score.
