The "orchestral" part takes resources, but in general there are insane numbers of musicians putting out music in hundreds or thousands of genres, Shirley more than at any other time in human history. Someone recommended "Year of the Newt" by the musician Bobbing to me because I like Max Tundra, and trying to find out more about him I came across the "indietronica" sub-genre on RateYourMusic that lists 12,000 releases by hundreds of artists I'd never heard of. There are more kinds of metal than there are brands of guitar amp. Sturgeon's Law "90% of everything is crap" applies, but that leaves hundreds of thousands of tracks every year that are pretty good.
Louis knows that he has one of the best bassists in the world on his side, so he keeps writing the most insane bass lines that make Sam squirm in agony and perform at the highest level 😂
I am just so speechless with how beautiful this music is, like I don't even have a clue what to say..literally the soundtrack to all the beauty of life.
The fusion of orchestra and jazz/funk/pop is inspired. I bet the orchestra enjoyed playing this. Really great orchestra break with some excellent harmonies. This is music for the 21st century. Thank you Louis Cole for your artistry. ❤
I so agree! Not quite jaded senior jazz musician has been in a quandary for years where to direct his energies. I don't want to pretend I have something "new and relevant" nor do I want to wallow in the old "groovy, hip" sensibilities" of the past. This music genuinely excites me and points to a refreshing renaissance of all the elements that make great music accessible and elevating and engaging.
@@omfgacceptmyname they’re so young, I just look forward to seeing what they mature into. Beck is obviously a technically virtuosic drummer, but to me he has this unrefined manner of so desperately avoiding a repeating pattern that all his drum work ends up sounding the same to me. Domi is obviously some kind of chord master, but I want to see her really work on memorable melodies rather than just changing around as much as possible. There’s stuff of theirs that I’ve felt blissfully stimulated listening to, and then there are times when it seems like interminable meandering.
Louis might be the only person alive right now who can put all these styles of music into one song and come out with a result that not only avoids being cringe but is also just a genuine bop.
What an absolute masterpiece. I want to thank you for continually working on and releasing some of the most unique and incredible pieces of music that exists today. It’s always a great day when new Louis Cole drops!
I can't get Zappa's massive assholery out of my head when I listen to his music. Yeah, I get it, you are the smartest motherfucker to ever step on a stage but what is the point if all of it is coated in nihilism?
That's incredible on so many levels, the drive, the energy, the composition, the lyrics, the speed, the skeletons, the talent, the performance, the solo (wow!).... and totally all round cool !!
Galactic tune. David Binney is bending time and reality on this one. The horns swelling at 3:20 really put this into overdrive. Can't wait to get my copy!
So great to hear again, was fortunate enough to be there in 2021 and 2023 in Utrecht. Already preordered the vinyl! I'm so in love with this music and Knower can't wait to here more new music! Louis Cole thank you so much for doing these shows here in NL. Cannot wait to see you guys again in October!
I love the fact that so many talented musicians all subscribed to bringing Louis' amazingly frenetic and intricate music to life (pun intended 😉) 😍👏🏾🎶❤️🔥
I was checking the first 5 seconds in awe wondering: OMG, is he the original Scary Pockets bassist with his disctinctive head-to-the-rhythm move? Yes, indeed! Killer song, killer band!
Louis Cole and Knower are fking GODS This was an amazing song and performance! Kudos to these nasty musicians keeping REAL music alive amongst all the top-40 sewage in 2024.
This resonates with my nervous system in Waze that various little music does, and it’s incredibly valuable to me for that reason. Rhythmic it does something to my neurotransmitters, my mental math that seems to create some alignment that doesn’t exist when I’m not listening to this music. Harmonically, it soothes me, but in a tremendously expensive way. Like I’m flying over the planet experiencing humanity Like life is some big neural network and we’re all connected to everything. And besides that, it just amuses me. There is a joyful sarcasm. A playful irreverence, and yeah, it just makes me feel good in a way that not much else does and I’m a pretty happy person for the most part. But this, this is extraordinarily special. Like really effing special.
For me, it’s like the best awkward make out, that you never knew you even needed. Wonderful work. Love it. Great concept great lyrics. Great playing. Great to hear David too on this
Man, I wonder if Louis Cole ever considered scoring a movie. I love the Bernard Hermann soundscape in his orchestral arrangements. Also, I REALLY hope we get a proper track release of "High Five". I've only heard it in the live performance and would love a studio version. Looking forward to the new album!

You don't find much orchestral dance music jazz with surreal lyrics these days. Engaging and mind-blowing with just superb musicianship.
if it takes you 6 words (minimum 4) to describe the thing then obviously you won't find much of it.

not sure you'll find much of this in any time period
Amen
@@TehVulpezProbably some of Zappa stuff, and that's pretty much it as far as I know.
Sam Wilkes is pound for pound one of the best bassists on the planet.
What does pound for pound mean in this context?
@@koosp.2270 it means his grooves are heavy
Louis knows that he has one of the best bassists in the world on his side, so he keeps writing the most insane bass lines that make Sam squirm in agony and perform at the highest level 😂
Yeah. He's really really really good. My ears are made whole by his funk.
Not only is he locked in on everything he plays, but watching him work is like an entire show within itself. Pure magic.
This is the best anxiety I’ve ever felt
This comment is yet more proof that sometimes the most profound sentences can come from the most random places.
Isn't good anxiety just excitement? But tbh i get it

Here here!
In Japan on our honeymoon, we just saw a double rainbow and now are watching the premiere. Blessed.
Fuck yeah dude.
congrats ^^
Love love love this for you ❤💥

Based😤
This has to be the funkiest orchestra performance ever. What a time to be alive.
Check out Metropole Orchest with Snarky Puppy 😎
I'm glad to be living in the same timeline as Louis Cole
100%
Louis Cole is ultimate fusion music.
The flanging / phasing during the chorus!! It juxtaposes so hard with the orchestral backing ... squirming with delight.
Didn't even notice it explicitly before but you're right, it adds a lot!
The most exciting thing going on in music for the last several years

Sam's neck has got to be made of heavy springs and iron. His head is constantly smashin out his notes. Great work everyone !
A living bobblehead ...
How many time have I listened to this already? I don't know, not stopping now.
Louis might be the only person alive right now who can put all these styles of music into one song and come out with a result that not only avoids being cringe but is also just a genuine bop.
YES!
Tight drums, funky bassline, fat&loud brass section, angels voices, this is so perfect ❤ thanks 🙏
Davis Binney soloing. And the girls bopping like it's a little club somewhere.
Musical perfection the way only Louis can conceive it.
It's not even 7 AM and this just dropped 57 minutes ago. It's been on repeat. Today's gonna slap. Thanks, Louis and the gang.
Hell yah! The crack a dawn crew! 🤙🏼
1:58 this has to be one of coolest sudden style shifts ever made. Also the way it goes back to the "original" style is so smooth.
I like big brass and I can not lie.
This is the most exciting music you can listen nowadays.
Luckily not….
ルイス・コール、相変わらず、作曲センスが超絶技巧過ぎてもはや変態で、凄いっすねwww

I cannot stop listening to this ..... this is is pure art and maths applied together. I acquired the full album from bandcamp
"Disgraceful. Alright, let's move on".
Normal day at work. Just the conductor shitting on an excellent performance. Let's move on.
The British psyche summed up
@@liamness very dry humor, like Bond's martini.
As a former symphonic instrumentalist, this had me laughing so hard I started crying.

Nothing in the world makes me nod my head harder than the signature stabby funky synth chords in Louis Cole music
Jacob is always so chill no matter how ridiculous the piece is 😂😂😂
There’s all this bullshit going on in the world right now and Louis Cole keeps pumping out the dope jams. Makes life a lot better.
I agree!
Look at all the Genevieves!!!!!
Lol true
If I love one Genevieve then I love a hundred Genevieves. It is what it is.
he cloned her what has he done.
This track is swifter than my sadness can run.
Holy sh*t! Stravinsky chords on the first beats, dance groove and lyrics, and David Binney -> feeling bliss!
can you pls name a piece as an example
@@esathtlk The Rite of Spring: II. Augers of Spring
I feel the funk in my heart and I don't want it to stop - Is this . . .LIFE
Sam Wilkes is unbelievable!!!
This new album is going to be EPIC!
Should really know by now but once again, I am completely floored by how locked in Louis Cole and Sam Wilkes are
2:35
That cartoon music break was amazing ❤
Thanks for introducing me to the transcendent David Binney. What an absolute joy to hear.
Louis Cole's songs always bring a smile to my face.
This is in many ways complete music: rhythm, melody, feel, harmonies and improvisation. Perfect!
Hey. Look at me. Don't ever stop being so good. Any of you. I mean it.
What an absolute masterpiece. I want to thank you for continually working on and releasing some of the most unique and incredible pieces of music that exists today. It’s always a great day when new Louis Cole drops!
god this guy just doesn't fucking miss
Cant say I've ever been this excited for an album coming out in a long time.
Just love how the orchestra musicians are everyday people brought in to LC's freaky musical world and are grooving to the beat wile at rest :)
That is metropole orkest not "everyday people"
@@julioestrada3111 Fo real. The MO rock!
Highly skilled, multiple Grammy award winning orchestra and musicians is probably why Louis decided to give the Metrople a call 😊
@@julioestrada3111 I was just gonna say. They could probably teach the band a thing or two.
unbelievable the choir, the orchestra, the sax solo, the bass and drums…
Zappa would like this element. Great!
I was thinking the same thing.
@@richardgrier8968 The complex structures of Cole's songs often remind me of the genius of Frank Zappa.
@@FFkingBassMusic Me too.
I can't get Zappa's massive assholery out of my head when I listen to his music. Yeah, I get it, you are the smartest motherfucker to ever step on a stage but what is the point if all of it is coated in nihilism?
I agree! Great stuff! Definitely in the same world as Zappa, especially some of his later lesser known work.
louis cole? more like louis cool
Let's be friends
More like louis DROOL!!!!
More like BOOTY'S CALL
more like Lou Ice-Cold
Lou Is Cool
このリズム♪テンポ♪
骨のスーツYEAH！
ルイスコールのドラム最高🎉
It's like you've taken One Winged Angel and turned it into a Ridge Racer song, it's incredible.
I didn’t want to be the one to say it… but I’m really glad that someone did!! 😅
God damn! You're absolutely correct and I cannot unhear it now
Maybe the real “play station” was Louis’s drum kit all along. 😮
@akiojunichiro thanks for the ridge racer ref, you're totally right, epic
I JUST thought the SAME THING.
Sephiroth: “Good to see you…cloud.”
*begins to rave in clouds dreams*
A breath of fresh air in todays musical landscape.
Sam wilkes on the motherflippin' bass baby!
the man is a monster
This is the most louis cole louis cole has ever louis coled and I love it
That's incredible on so many levels, the drive, the energy, the composition, the lyrics, the speed, the skeletons, the talent, the performance, the solo (wow!).... and totally all round cool !!
I want a universe where Louis writes a song called ‘Sam Wilkes is my Spirit Animal,’ imagine the funk!!
It would pair nicely with Thundercat's "I Love Louis Cole"
@@lewiji it certainly would
@@lewiji Imagine a collab album with like twelve musicians who just write love letters to each other. I'd be down with that.
I accidentally played that masterpiece in 1,5x speed.
It surely had a *buying your presents 24 hours before Christmas* vibe
Who needs coffee when you got this banger getting your heart rate up
Like, not even kidding 😂🎉
Me 😂
Help! I can’t sleep, I accidentally Life
That bassline is just daft. Bravo!
This will be my favorite album when it comes out I guarantee it
absolutely!
Same here.
Can you still guarantee it now that it's out?
@@blivion7203 hmmm, as a whole I think I liked Quality Over Opinion more. But this one is still very good.
AAAAAAAAH!!!! YOOO!!!!!!! WOW!! WHAAT?!?!?! HOW?!?!? The SOLO!! AND THE AFTERMATH!!! That was absolute LUNACY!!! Great job.
Admit it; you watched this more than once. I know I did. How could you not? Masterpiece!
Galactic tune. David Binney is bending time and reality on this one. The horns swelling at 3:20 really put this into overdrive. Can't wait to get my copy!
This will go down as some of the best music recorded this year. Kudos! Grammy level
I've already listened to it 10 times...
the bass drum duo is crazy !!!!
1:26 the keys and the change in chord progression make me feel something
Incredible. And LC and GA just never stop. Some of the best new music out there.
So great to hear again, was fortunate enough to be there in 2021 and 2023 in Utrecht. Already preordered the vinyl!
I'm so in love with this music and Knower can't wait to here more new music!
Louis Cole thank you so much for doing these shows here in NL. Cannot wait to see you guys again in October!
Same re. the vinyl, then I went fuck, how am I gonna feed my kids this week 🤦♂️
I love the fact that so many talented musicians all subscribed to bringing Louis' amazingly frenetic and intricate music to life (pun intended 😉) 😍👏🏾🎶❤️🔥
This music is the best out there. Jazz is the winner
The writing is so clear and then these solos are just unreal great! Kinda symphonic with bebop/hardbop intertwined
New Music! 🎶 Aww Yeah! 😁✨The King is Back.👑🔥
I was checking the first 5 seconds in awe wondering: OMG, is he the original Scary Pockets bassist with his disctinctive head-to-the-rhythm move? Yes, indeed! Killer song, killer band!
Zappa,,,,wayne shorter,,,,,joe zawinul,,,,miles davis,,,,united,,,,,in one insane good composition,,,,way 2go,,,,,mind blowing,,,,,,
You guys are fantastic!!! Jamiroquay meets Zappa in Charlie Parker memorial barbecue party
Beautifully observed.
This is insane and yes Zappa would get it... Music beyond the pandemic.. 🌻🙌
Of course you must record Life live. Truly we are living in the best possible timeline, despite anything else that happens this year
Love the way he shoves some "dread" in there, or something like that. Talking Heads are also like that. Makes for extremely funky music.
The standard for tightness has been raised even higher 🔥🔥
HEYYYYYY what a full blast song!
I love the way Jacob mann plays such crazy chords while being so chill lol 🖤
thank you Louis & crew
So frenetic. Amazing vibe. Anxious and captivating.
Dude, when you see the light like I do, this entire group's work absolutely resounds on a deeper level. Truly brilliant work!!
Fastest click in my history. Can't wait to show this to my son. Merci Louis!!!
Nice to hear the Stravinsky influence in his arrangements
Louis Cole and Knower are fking GODS
This was an amazing song and performance! Kudos to these nasty musicians keeping REAL music alive amongst all the top-40 sewage in 2024.
Im REKT…….☠️☠️☠️
Louis Cole is one of the best drummers I've heard in a long time. He's got the perfect mix of groove and technicality. I love Sam Wilkes on bass too.

the break at 2:37 is so sick
