This dude is humble, hard-working, and you can just tell he's just a sucker for the music. When you come across people who feel this way about music, and are having success in doing it after grinding for so long, it's just a great feeling.

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 KZread channel 😊. Now he thinks we are friends with him.

Absolutely. His spirit of being in it for the music & fuck the fame just oozes out of him. So much humility
Could’ve talked about Genevieves influence on the music, they’re giving him credit for all of those harmonies but I think she had a lot to do with it as well
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.

Almost unbearable amounts of bromance here, stop it! (actually dont, its a great thing that people can have this much of respect and love for eachother) I've followed all of you three since 2008, I know the music of every one of you through and through, you've probably been the most inspirational conteporaries for me, great to see you getting together and making this video, feels like I'm meeting old friends :)

Nahhh….that “Baaaaby” scream is seriously some of the FUNKIEST vocals of the last decade for sure. From the intervals of the notes themselves to the pure, raw, emotionally expression. Wow.
louis cole is one of the best things that happened to music after 2010

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 is one of the best drummers I have ever listened to. So fucking good!!! Absolutely killer.
YES! Louis is SO talented
I think we all love his music because it's full of surprise and us musicians are typically not easily surprised since we devour all genres intensly.
I never thought that louis cole is actually a normal human being. I think this is the best musicians react episode, and I would say by a long shot, but the episode with the back vocals of aretha is so much killing too. Would love to see Genevieve next.
You guys just unlocked so much Louis Cole lore for the masses! Thank you so much! Because of where i am in my producing journey i especially enjoyed the part about ozone limiting/mastering and drum micing! Epic!
I love that Louis is a damned genius and yet he basically doesn't know what he's doing lol.

feel so lucky to have seen knower twice, once the duo at the Rex and once the full band at the Horseshoe both in Toronto. Two of the best shows I've ever seen honestly
Now that I know that Mr. Cole has other version of his tunes, I want them super badly. I hope he makes an album with "b-tracks" for his fans.

...I have always listened to every musical genre appreciating the quality, imagination and talent, as well as the commitment of each artist, and in these years in which I have the impression that creativity has flattened, I find that Louis Cole brings something back in mind to my ears, perhaps not entirely new, but he certainly manages to give new life to something that was dying, I thank him because for me music is something indispensable, and I wish him the success he deserves, and he deserves it above all because his art is the fruit of his passion and not of the search for fame and success
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!
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
I have to say - its so awesome to hear questions like, where does the money come from, and how much do you work. Its so inspiring to hear about process and the art, the stuff that really matters, but its also so helpful to hear answers to questions like these as I try to piece my income together and figure out my life.
LOUIS IS THE BEST
Favorite drummer, musician, songwriter, producer I've ever encountered I think. My damn hero and makes me wanna quit. Also, love his Mario Kart soundtrack influences haha!
FINALLY! Lousi Cole is awesome

I’m just smiling the entire time I’m watching this. I love love love Louis Cole soo much, i love seeing him get the recognition he deserves, it’s beautiful that him and thundercat crossed paths and “I love Louis Cole” ended up on a Grammy winning album! Seeing Louis’s face while talking about a 50 piece orhcestra is what it’s all about. This dude inspires me daily.. I love Louis Cole:)
Woooow. I've never listened to Louis Cole. Never too late to start witnessing this sort of genius.
I love that you brought up his unique sense of harmony and chord structure. I don’t know the first thing about that shit, but my ears constantly tell me that what Louis is doing is really special.
SUCH an amazing interview. This mix of amazing interviewers having such a close relationship to the person they are interviewing is so rare, this is gold
Aw, I just happened to be going on a kick this past week trying to find anything new from Louis Cole, without much luck, then worrying he's maybe shifted careers or something... So great to see him alive and well. Really love his music, it has given me much joy, and I just wish him the best in whatever he's up to. Thanks for the great little video here.
I first remember seeing Louis on Jack's early solo stuff and he's been my absolutely favorite drummer ever since. He has such a unique voice on the kit, and his music is just incredible. Thank you for having him on the show! Really enjoyed this!
No joke: One of the best artists/musicians OF ALL TIME.
I could not stop smiling and exclaiming out loud how cool this was. Thanks for making it, you wonderful humans!
Louis Cole is such an amazing person.
Happiest i've ever been
Super fantastic interview. Love the chemestry. Love Lewis and will check out Thundercats for sure. ....one day, a Clown Core vid was on my feed. Here I am now and forever.❤
Louis Cole "Money" has been my morning alarm for about a year now. 10/10 great morning alarm.
Louis has been working out! Maybe more than just that but we won’t dwell on it.
Incredible musician that's uniquely creative and killer at drums but above all I enjoy how genuinely playful he is.
He showed up down the street from my house with a big band and rocked the neighborhood like nobody's business. I hope one day I'll hear a marching band playing Louis Cole...
Love everything louis does, love his solo, knower, his features on big band and snarky puppy, just a monster drummer, composer singer just an inspiration for everything musical. I see Louis Cole on a project I get hype every time without question.
This was incredible. Thank you for doing it, and doing it this way.
yesssssss what a great episode. Louis 🔥🔥
I feel like Louis Cole is such an enigma. Thank you for having him on your platform. The best episode yet!!!
Wow, actually I discovered Louis through Austin Peralta as well! That video of Goodbye Porkpie Hat from Austin's last performance breaks my heart every time I hear it. Gone too soon.

You can feel the mutual respect in this one big time... Dude is on his own interesting level!! And if Thundercat loves him, then who am I to disagree?
This was super inspiring! I did not know Louis before but the way he describes his process makes the whole production side of things seem so much more accessible. I'm gonna try to take it to heart and stop focusing on doing it "correctly" and instead doing it in a way that achieves what I want.
