@@joshchaffin3267 Clown Core is great. It's not necessarily aesthetically pleasing, but I feel that's the point. It's an outlet of stupid fun and weird creativity from Louis and Sam (allegedly). Still showcases their musical ability very well.
I think it's a T shape, with the I door being the only open door in the video, and an additional door on top of the T to the right of the left most door on the end point, relative to the T shape Edit: also that last door I mentioned is open

I’m a 66 year old keyboard player who made his bones during the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report. Return to Forever etc. Era in New York. I was an active working musician mostly in Atlantic City / Philadelphia market. Worked. With a lot of heavyweights. I wanted to tell you this because whenever I hear remarkably innovative and harmonically sophisticated young musician, like you guys, it gives me hope for the future of music. When I first heard “What’s in your Heart” a few years ago, it stopped me dead in my tracks. It’s great to see musicians with chops who can display what they do but still serve the song and groove. Genevieve, your voice and phrasing have so much presence and rhythmic inventiveness. Louis your chords just kill me. . I hadn’t heard you with the full band before. Yikes!!! All I know is that you impressed this old Geezer and make me feel so good when I hear you’re music. I wish you great success.

Can we give praise to the cameragirl wearing a beekeeper top like she's some cyberpunk noir film extra? She did an excelent job filming this bizarre amount of concentrated talent
They have mad rep among musicians in just about every city though. Literally every dope musician in Seattle was in the audience when they came through.
They're not really underrated, most people who know about them think they're the dog's bollocks. They're just underexposed. I suspect that will change, though.
dude is mighty, i get a lot of chick corea vibes from him. maybe check out the return to forever album "where have i known you before" for more crazy synth noodling, the tracks "vulcan worlds" and "song to the pharoah kings" in particular
Check out Buckethead by Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains, about 3 mins in. Claypool and Buckethead can both get a bit carried away with themselves (an extreme understatement) but the Bernie Worrell keyboard solo is fantastic.
i'd love to hear from a drummer but as an avid listener that stood out and made me look him up on the spot a few years back. fast forward & just saw him live last friday, it was incredible. what a journey, and it all started with this song
My father who recently passed was a lifelong musician playing classical and jazz guitar. His favorite musician at the time of his passing was Louis Cole and absolutely loved this song. Thank you guys I feel closer to my dad now listening to your music.
My dad also recently passed and loved jazz and blues. I sent him this before he passed and he loved it. My condolences for your loss and long live music 🙏🏾🖤
there is alot of overediting that happens with studio versions. Producers tend to want to add effects and post processing that real listeners dont care for. Live music will always be best
Then you've obviously never seen this, because the performance gets even tighter when it's crammed into an outhouse: th-cam.com/video/hT7x1NvGf5k/w-d-xo.html
I love that the bass player (Sam Wilkes) kind of looks like the captain of the high school math team, but he straps and a bass and turns into bass clef superman.
100% didn't make it up. It stopped doing it after three or four days but it still shows up as the 2nd autocomplete option if I type in the first few letters of youtube
I listen mostly to rock, hip hop and electronic music. Love the tracks but for the most part the level of skill with instruments or live performance leaves something to be desired. One thing that sets KNOWER apart is the chops of everyone involved.
When Red Hot Chili Peppers came to Mexico City a couple of years ago, I was so hyped when I realized you guys were opening!! I felt so fuck*ing lucky because I never thought I would see two of my favorite bands by paying only 1 ticket, I loved your performance there, thank you guys.
Nunna Yuh bitness Reverb and compression aren't even unnatural additions. Reverb happens from reflections and distance, compression is actually achieved by your ears when the SPI of a sound is too loud, the brain naturally attenuates the signals.

In the last week since I first heard Clown Core, I think Louis Cole has become one of my favorite musicians ever. Everyone involved here is so mind-blowingly good at what they do, and I CANNOT get these songs out of my head, not that I want to. On top of the overwhelmingly impressive musicianship, Genevieve has such an infectious voice and presence. Everything about this music is perfect and I will be annoying about it and tell everyone I know.
@@MaydupNem I know, but everyone always says that in the comments, so I was led to Louis Cole through Clown Core, and I now I love both, separate artists.
Best funk i've heard in my life. Louis has this uncanny sense of melody that makes me even like the jazz parts. Every single person in this performance is a master of their instrument and watching them play this complex track so tightly live gives me shivers.
They are playing in a L shaped room. Drummer is further left, then bassist and keyboard / camera girl are in the corner. Behind the camera girl is the right part of the room which is sax player and then singer in the back Btw when I say left/right, perspective is from this dot : L°
WOW! Just discovered this band 5 min ago and already in love. No big Hollywood production, just 5 very talented musicians crammed in a small bedroom, killin it! That's what it's all about.
@@valentinasanchez5757 Yes of course. I've been a musician for over 30 years. I get it. Maybe skilled would be a better word. They look like they all went to a serious music school then started this as a project to express their creativity in a less structured environment. I love the stuff they come up with. Yes I know you can learn music without school like I did but when I see so many skilled musicians of the same age it makes me guess they know each other from school.
Loving this funky vibe a lot more than the older techno style. Should totally explore this new different direction with the live band members, really enjoy the addition of the sax too. I had a great time watching you guys play in Poland. Keep up the good work!
I showed this to my hamster, and now he's running so fast, his energy could power the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I haven't seen him in 3 days, send help.
I just so happen to stumble across this Louis Cole guy from a Facebook post.I have been intrigued with him since I've listened to him. I am in my 60s but he takes me back to a place in music that is so familiar. I really really enjoy his music.
You are like a mainstream trojan horse, that even the most lost people, in terms of music taste, will give a chance... And then you inject them with a this fantastic, out of this world, unforgettable music. And before they realize it, they've already become your fans. In other words. You are like some sort of healthy super food, dressed up as a McDonalds burger. And everybody's loving it. So glad I discovered you. As someone said in the comments, criminally underrated.... STILL. Let's see what happens.
Actually, I'd say they're better live. The mixing and mastering on a lot of KNOWER tracks doesn't really gel with the band's energy. Louis' solo stuff is more to the point in that manner.
If only they would come to my city. ...but then again, if it wasn't for Mono Neon and Thundercat, I wouldn't know who these people are. For that, I'm grateful
I've seen this hundreds of times and noticed today that it's Louis Cole asking, "what's the tempo?" You go right ahead and set ALL OUR tempos, good sir!!
I cannot describe the feeling I have everytime different musicians I love and follow joins in a project, proving me that I am coherent with my musical choices. Shout out to the incredible Rai Thistlethwayte.
I performed this as the closing act for a hotswap drum performance show thing... I can't judge how well I did but some lady came up to me at the end and asked me what the song's name and what band made it... real proud of that one lol, hopefully I put her onto Knower and Louis Cole :)
The bassist looks like all 4 members of Vulfpeck
Oh man. It's so true.
hahahahahahahahahahahaha genius
Jesus Christ you nailed it
You just made me make my first TH-cam comment. But damn are you right.
So weird... I thought the same thing.
The Sax guy and the Drummer sure are used to playing in such a tight space.
I bet they can fit a band in an outhouse.
Exactly. Glad someone elsee figured it out.
I came here to confirm this lolol, these guys are pure natural talent.

I think it's a T shape, with the I door being the only open door in the video, and an additional door on top of the T to the right of the left most door on the end point, relative to the T shape
Edit: also that last door I mentioned is open
I think the sax+vocals were filmed/recorded afterwards in the same hallway. Not sure though.
They're edited tgt on top of each other

Holy shit. Every single musician is a monster, but the nod in this round goes to Sam "Watch Me Fit This Entire Hallway in my Pocket" Wilkes.

Yes! younger generation making real music with real chops! As a music producer and recording engineer, it gives me hope!
Totally agree. Rai and Louis only being in their early 40s, I can't wait to see what they come up with during their late 50s and 60s.
seriously so good. please let's have more of this, we need more of this
3:54 is just SO fucking good, Genevieve and Sam G's blending of voice and sax is absolutely perfect.
Teacher: “The test isn’t that confusing”
The test: *this house*
They are playing in a L shaped room. Drummer is further left, then bassist and keyboard / camera girl are in the corner.
Behind the camera girl is the right part of the room which is sax player and then singer in the back
Btw when I say left/right, perspective is from this dot : L°
They are in a _|- shaped corridor
When a pop musician is introduced to a bit of theory
sam and genevieve are to the right of rai
This is just the sickest display of musicianship anywhere on TH-cam.
Yep and who ever says otherwise SUCKS ASS
I bought a high-end speaker to listen to this. I've been listening to it for a year on repeat. Just can't get enough.
Genevieve's voice is so clean
WOW! Just discovered this band 5 min ago and already in love. No big Hollywood production, just 5 very talented musicians crammed in a small bedroom, killin it! That's what it's all about.
*crammed in a small outhouse.
^^^^I think that's what you meant.
I love your comment but rather than talent its practice and study to be in that level
@@valentinasanchez5757 Yes of course. I've been a musician for over 30 years. I get it. Maybe skilled would be a better word. They look like they all went to a serious music school then started this as a project to express their creativity in a less structured environment. I love the stuff they come up with. Yes I know you can learn music without school like I did but when I see so many skilled musicians of the same age it makes me guess they know each other from school.
I want to simultaneously carry the child of every person that performed in this video.
IM GONEEE THIS COMMENT
Those little gasps Genevieve throws in, between razor sharp crystal clean notes...I love her
who gave Vulfpeck amphetamines?
jcmyint Lets see what "talent" youve got
@jcmyint Are you blind and deaf, good sir?
@jcmyint To each their own, taste is taste, but you can't deny they're shit hot musicians.
jcmyint none of them went to berklee
@jcmyint No offense sir, but denying Wulfpeck's talent is the most retarded thing to do in this universe,
musical tastes apart
The Persona 6 soundtrack sounds awesome.
Getting that vibe too.
This type of music absolutely fits Persona
It's true!
I mean i love me some Shoji Meguro...he's no Sam Wilkes
Add some glitch edits between breaks, you got some JSR Hideki vibes
Loving this funky vibe a lot more than the older techno style.
Should totally explore this new different direction with the live band members, really enjoy the addition of the sax too.
I had a great time watching you guys play in Poland. Keep up the good work!
João Couto Actually, I think this sounds a lot more like their first album.
Mario A. L. I was gonna say the same
Check out Shobaleader One - E8 Boogie
shobaleadz E8 boogie is the shit :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D tj 4evz
I can't stop listening to this. Sam's bass fills with that octave pedal are just too goddamn funky.
I showed this to my hamster, and now he's running so fast, his energy could power the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I haven't seen him in 3 days, send help.
Andrew Smyth lol that’s a very specific amount of power
Did he disappear before or after the Lady Trieu & Manhattan incident?
Wth where he go!?
think I just saw him in Chicago still running but he looked gassed
I think he left our solar system...
I just so happen to stumble across this Louis Cole guy from a Facebook post.I have been intrigued with him since I've listened to him. I am in my 60s but he takes me back to a place in music that is so familiar. I really really enjoy his music.
this is the superior version. change my mind
Why would I?
I mean... it is the superior version. It is pretty well agreed upon that this is better than the original.
sorry, not possible. this version is THE version.
Everything about this video has got my heart working overtime
uhhhhhhhhhhh. what just happened? gosh golly. I mean, no monitors, no click track, live take, a hallway?! ARE YOU JOKING?!
adding myself here cause im curious too
VHS filter
What happened? Monsters got in a hallway; set-up a camera; did 100000000000 takes; came up with this one...
its not live. dunno why the title says it is. a perfect example would be at 2:35, the drummer hits the cymbal and theres no sound.. lol..
If that's what you think it is, go for it. It's not. It's not live.
You are like a mainstream trojan horse, that even the most lost people, in terms of music taste, will give a chance... And then you inject them with a this fantastic, out of this world, unforgettable music. And before they realize it, they've already become your fans. In other words. You are like some sort of healthy super food, dressed up as a McDonalds burger. And everybody's loving it.
So glad I discovered you. As someone said in the comments, criminally underrated.... STILL. Let's see what happens.
" You are like some sort of healthy super food, dressed up as a McDonalds burger."- Nice one brewh
oskararnarson they're like that super delicious food you didn't KNOW was healthy but is.
oskararnarson very well put
Yes, they are easily JUST as good live. You're doing yourself a disservice by not seeing them at every available opportunity!
Actually, I'd say they're better live. The mixing and mastering on a lot of KNOWER tracks doesn't really gel with the band's energy. Louis' solo stuff is more to the point in that manner.
😚
Ö _ as a jazz guy, who isnt into electronica, they are better live imo
If only they would come to my city. ...but then again, if it wasn't for Mono Neon and Thundercat, I wouldn't know who these people are. For that, I'm grateful
I just saw both Louis and Knower are on tour but it seems only Louis is coming to London D:
"The Government Knows" done in this style with an extended breakdown would be sweeeet!
No clue how I stumbled into this and ClownCore in the last 10 minutes but I’m glad it happened
Isn't it great :-)
agreed, it's a great hole to tumble down!
Me too!!! It’s awesome!
that was live? that's scary.
probably no
The title literally says "Live Band sesh"
ooh but that just cant be
It was live but it sounds like a ton of post production was going on.
They all did jazz school clear as day..jazz can play..
I've seen this hundreds of times and noticed today that it's Louis Cole asking, "what's the tempo?" You go right ahead and set ALL OUR tempos, good sir!!
Waitaminit? I thought he answered that question by playing the hi hats rhythmically?
Honestly what an absolute dream team this crew is.
give a noble prize to the bassist, damn he's a true beast.
I cannot describe the feeling I have everytime different musicians I love and follow joins in a project, proving me that I am coherent with my musical choices.
Shout out to the incredible Rai Thistlethwayte.
Between Nate Smith and Louis Cole, every other drummer should just sell half their kit until they can make 4-5 pieces sound like that
Here, here!
just realized none of my favorite drummers use rack toms or ride cymbals lol
Water babies
Most professional drummers can do that. They just graduated up to having Terry Bozzio sized kits.
Gavin Harrison can do this in his sleep and you know it
I need this on spotify
The beekeeper outfit without any pants is a fresh look
Yeah I'm really confused about that... why the beekeeper outfit, and why no pants?
@@Skater901 because you're watching knower 💀
Real people. Wow. This is how life is supposed to feel all of the time.
"if you want to keep it" - perfect pitch between Genevieve and Sam... pushes the song over the top.
I performed this as the closing act for a hotswap drum performance show thing... I can't judge how well I did but some lady came up to me at the end and asked me what the song's name and what band made it... real proud of that one lol, hopefully I put her onto Knower and Louis Cole :)
