My problem is that the patch is sufficiently off-key to be very annoying to my ears. That's not to diminish Rai's musical abilities, I just wish the synth patch was actually in tune with the band and less um... whiney.

So unbelievably good. So much love for Louis and Genevieve, especially because they properly introduced me to the genius of Rai Thistlethwayte, who I only ever knew from his Aussie rock band Thirsty Merc. That bloke is just incredible, ran into him at a jam randomly here in Sydney and then went to Rai's solo show, just mind-blowing, he's a force of nature and it speaks to the quality and dedication of Knower's music that you can have cats like him in the band, and that everyone touching an instrument or a microphone is killing it on a transcendent level. Truly inspiring music, huge love.

It’s a very odd, daring solo. It feels chaotic, sloppy, out of tempo and out of tune at first but then you realize it’s deliberate and it challenges you to find the structure. Then the solo ‘comes home’ in melody and structure. It’s jazzy, it’s poppy, funky… truly unique and masterfully played.

Absolutely divine pre-chorus

That piano solo is like rolling in the waves on the shore.

One one my favorite tunes of the album, a classic R&B vibe and groove, beautiful chord changes, angelic singing by Genevieve and an amazing 'laid back , ma non troppo' piano solo by Paul Cornish.

All the music belongs to you, imagine waking up and finding out knower just dropped this,,,,sick timing

Absolute magic for the ears. I can't stop smiling the whole way through!

That keyboard riff is from another planet. Whole thing is absolutely 🔥 and gave me goosebumps. Fantastic swag 😍

Thank god for knower, they are pure music

Memory is unreliable, but I am pretty sure I discovered both Knower and Mononeon simultaneously some years ago when I came across his video playing along to “The Government Knows”. It feels like things have come full circle.

All these years of mononeon Knower covers can finally come to an end. He is now the bassist. Mission complete

I don't often comment on videos but damn.. how did I not hear of these guys before. Not sure what I love most about this; cool looking dude starting with a sick sequence, the instant vibe that just sweeps you up when the beat and band kick in, that sweet fairylike voice starting to sing, how sick the synth and sax sound together, the fact that it isn't shot in a fancy studio or the fact of seeing all these different types of people coming together to create this beautiful positive vibe. I absolutely love everything about this production.
