    Someone said "it's very collegey" and i could not agree more and I mean that in the utmost highest regard. it's just pure unadulterated unfiltered talent that no studio or label could hope to recapture. it's the essence of musicality for music's sake. louis cole and genevieve artadi are national treasures and knower needs to be 1000x more popular.

    One of the violinists in this video is a friend of mine. I have sent her the link and asked her to forward it to Louis and Genevieve, so they should see it. I met them both in London a few years ago (through my friend) and they are fantastic people. Great track and great reaction!

      Knower really re-ignited my passion for making music. I can't imagine them not being cool. Especially with me tearing up almost every time I listen to Quality Over Opinion by Louis. I'm going to support what they do on Bandcamp any time I can! Hey Geebz. Cheers.

    Louis, the drummer, got nominated for an alternative jazz Grammy this year for his last solo album. He didn’t win but just getting the nom was pretty cool. I want this album to get nominated this year. The every track on this thing is amazing.

      It was a very strongly fielded category, and I was super excited for him to get the nomination. Meshell Ndegeocello took the Grammy in that category. That's nothing to be discouraged over and I hope he knows that. At the rate he is going, he will get his someday!

    The absolute joy Sam Wilkes shows when playing bass on, like, every video I've seen with him in it, never gets old. That man could be standing there playing one single note through the song and he'd still look like he's having the time of his life.

  • @scottbrewer9676
    @scottbrewer9676 2 місяці тому +18

    The entire album is insanely good. The majority of all the parts for each song were recorded live and you are watching it happen. Dubbed or added parts are generally acknowledge by text (you'll see 'OVERDUB' text, for example) or, as in the case of this video with the string section, you see for a moment a PIP view of the string section playing the "second" part. This occurs at 2:53 of your video.
    This gutsy, old-school, earthy approach pumps up my admiration for Louis and his cohorts to levels beyond comprehension or explanation.
    It's just crazy. Immeasurable amounts of talent, and in so many fields.
    DIY 4 EVR!

    I just went down the list of musicians in the strings and brass and googled every one. For a handful you need to add their instrument as a search term to get past some other famous person who shares their name, but it was well worth it. There are a lot of active musicians there with their own things going on.
