      I met him few weeks ago. He invited my family to come back stage to meet him and some of his band. They were all super kind and down to earth. It was very impactful moment to us all. Especially for my 7 year old son. LC even subscribed to my kids UA-cam channel 😊. Now he thinks we are friends with him.

    I think the main reason that Louis' output speaks to music heads so much is because it's basically one big in-joke, played with exceptional talent. I'm a huge believer that good music is basically comedy, and Louis' work is impeccable hilarity. Same with Thundercat, FlyLo, and Collier to some extent. Great music is funny as fuck.

    God I remember being absolutely OBSESSED with Louis's stuff, his work is like a singularity of a gravitational force because he has his own musical language paired with absolutely ferocious passion. His harmonic content is just so rich and fun and crazy but I just think there is TONS of emotional range in his work too... I think Window Shop might be one of the greatest songs of all time - it mixes 90's anime synths with breakneck drumming and heart melting vocals from Genevieve - possibly one of the most satisfying pieces of music ever. Thanks for this guys, this was amazing.

    Louis Cole! Man! I found him and Genevieve Artadi during the pandemic and fell in love with their music. You know, that part of the story Louis is telling about when he and Thundercat were jamming and Louis was thinking, that was a good warm up. Let's record. It reminds me of Thelonious Monk in Straight No Chaser. Same thing happened. He was playing and when he finished, the producer was like, alright. That was a good warm up lets run it again. Thelonious was like, WHAT!!! You didn't get that?!!! LMAO

    28:42-29:20 this is the most succinct description of Louis' vibe I've heard yet. I can completely relate. I grew up in the Lutheran church as a son of two pastors, with my mom doubling on organ and flute most Sundays. Around age 14 I started to get into jazz and then Alt rock (Radiohead and Rage) and no genre really blended the beautiful chorale orchestrations with the driving and harmonically adventurous vibe that progressive artists were putting down at the time. Louis Cole is almost my 'church music' these days, and his art helps me trace a cohesive narrative of my musical journey through life. That's why I truly love and appreciate him and his vision. I hope I get to jam with him someday. Thank you guys for this interview!
