your music is obvs the star of the show here, but i just wanna commend the blender gif you made for this, because it's one of those pieces that seems to just. perfectly capture the vibe it's going for y'know? like i cannot cherrypick a single thing i would change about this. just real good art ya made there 👍 thanks for sharing this with us

[@jakeybeans]

I wonder if he made that blender video because of this comment

[@Tom-oj7si]

He most definitely did not

[@Miles1965]

Nice Telecaster! 😃

[@MrGrimlocke]

It amazes me how you're able to put out good music so quickly and consistently

[@uniworkhorse]

man's a machine

[@raghugba863]

I was very *blown* away by this album! Such a *gust* of wonderful music! A *breath of fresh air* in the shape of tropical funky retro J-rock! 🌴🌊🌪

[@mynameusedtobelong]

ba dum tss

[@nephelechong6889]

*Audience laughs*

[@segaking5846]

Ok bro don’t push your luck💀

[@sentry_repair_mann]

This feels very inspired by Masayoshi Takanaka. With the tropical feel and overall funkiness and good-time attitude, this feels like you channeling his energy for which, i couldn't be happier.

[@Kaihatsu]

Can hear the Haruomi Hosono influence in this. Reminds me of his Aegean Sea and Pacific albums. Sounds like there's a bit of Masayoshi Takanaka in there too.

[@thatpizzaguy6840]

this really making me imagine something that doesn’t exist.

[@henrythebananaboy]

Hello pizza

[@choicevoiceproductions]

Yes! Friday jams!

[@TPLS2]

We are mere days from a new entry into the Ghost saga and we also get an album omg love you Louie

[@MidnightNautil1]

Hey! Just wanna say your music is lovely and this album actually made me find out more about 70’s Japanese rock (which the sound is right up my alley), so thank you!

[@Prinz_Kasper]

If you haven't already, check out Masayoshi Takanaka. You won't regret it!

[@MidnightNautil1]

@@Prinz_Kasper Thank you so much! I will

[@SupaDaBloopa]

Absolutely loving the Takanaka J-rock vibes! This is so intensely tropical that I could be in a blizzard and still feel warm, listening to this. I’m getting slight “Weather Channel” vibes too, with the jazz undertones. I would adore a Weather forecasting service using music like yours to accompany my daily weather broadcast.

[@juancena1259]

Louie im so happy i found you and your music, jams are so awesome and always make me smile 😊

[@Gustoberg]

Louie is my inspiration fr, he is a great musician and composer, great animator (both in 2d and 3d) and was in the production of some of the best animated series, you gotta admire such a cool dude.

[@instentproductions3180]

This album blows me away! (Pun intended) I realy love the vibe of it :)

[@frogboi7]

Your style is so unique yet every new video somehow feels so familiar, like knowing someone’s face even though you’ve never seen them before You’re definitely my favorite artist cause of it

[@SapphireRose0205]

This is the audio equivalent of floating in a pool, down to the weird wibbly wobbly feeling of the waves rocking you around

[@CinnamonTroll8U]

Barely 30 seconds in and I'm already hitting the "like" button..... what is this magic

[@lazyguyy]

how does it feel to never miss. holy cow your music is so good

[@paigek.5736]

Good job on Fiona and Cake. The hologram animation was rad

[@sophorose]

this has such a beautiful YMO feel to it!! gosh you really don't find harmonies like this anywhere. thank you so much for making this amazing music!

[@chizomunatico]

just finished listening to the album and loved every sound and lyric, u have no idea how much your art inspires me to keep creating, thank you!

[@PrezDispenser]

I’ve never seen anyone match the consistency and quality of Mr Zong like it’s just straight jams nonstop

[@elio7610]

I like how the album cover is animated.

[@jikkermanccini]

This is one of Louie's most Video game -esque albums ever, I love it so much.

[@missZoey5387]

Seasick recreates that nauseous feeling so well omgs

[@JohnGottschalk]

Rain on the Way is my favorite so far.

[@Limestoneowl]

Woah round the bend hits hard

[@thebooknerd5223]

[@LiquidPr1d3]

[@meow-px6kk]

[@memealine6322]

Boogie Board Blues makes me feel like a cowboy taking a vacation

[@georgiaswamptiger]

He can't keep getting away with this!

[@anto_point]

My life's been quite the hurricane lately ; I feel you, little 3d Louie...

[@ianglenn_music]

I always love the visuals and album covers. They fit the vibe of the music so well!

[@jonasak]

Crab samba is amazing! Massive brasilian skies vibes.

[@connordarvall8482]

The Masayoshi Takanaka influence kicked in at about Pacific Moon for me.

[@strawberrysoupiii4801]

really loving how humid this album sounds. girl theres a tropical storm out there and it is Moist

[@purogueso89]

This transport me to Haruomi Hosono works, really nice!!!

[@magdaluxe_deluxe]

if splatoon had a home design feature, this would be the music playing while you move around furniture

[@GuitarSlayer136]

To say the vibes are immaculate would be like saying the water is wet.

[@RedZeshinX]

The animation takes me back to the days of Encarta and Clippy.

[@WhentheAidenisMaxidk]

Listening to this while doing school work, really relaxing, helps me forget any stress I had before. 10/10

[@ostahlarune]

UNRELATED, but I was so happy to see you in the credits of Fionna and Cake! I knew I recognized those little Casper and Nova animations from somewhere. So earned, what a guy

[@haggirlsummer8942]

[@ryanwuryan7584]

!!!!!!!!!!! MY FAVORITE~!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rystmusic1]

Man, I love your style! These graphics remind me of old computer games and Grim Fandango! Awesome!!!

[@nicotorres5965]

I want a part two to Ghost Janitor where it’s bring your daughter to work day, and a busy dad accidentally leaves his daughter in the office for the night. So the ghost and the little girl make friends and play together until someone comes to save the girl.

[@DmitriDmitri]

This already sounds amazing! Diggin the slide guitar!

[@superandroidtron]

This is the most 70s-era Haruomi Hosono album I've ever heard that wasn't written by the man himself. Amazing work!

[@joedubuc2697]

I just want to thank you for releasing this album when you did, you released it the day I had to call out from work being sick with the flu, and I listened to it on repeate for awhile that day, as your music is always light hearted enough to put me in a better mood. You also have my respect as a musician when it comes to putting out music so constantly with consistent quality while still being true to yourself and pushing yourself. Im a guitarist and when Im not listening to like Polyphia and Stevie Ray, your music is a great break to rest my brain without having to turn off my music entirely. And I mean that in the best way possible. After spending an hour or so analyzing amazing players there is something to be said for your music which is amazing in its own sense for the straightforward wholesome healing simplicity of it. Long story short: Thank you

[@RS-dy3eh]

A perfect album to say goodbye to summer

[@bariloaf]

I love the vibes this is so cozy in the best way Thank you for more jams!!! ✨

[@gregorywiederecht]

"Galactic Tides" feels like a lovely cross-section of Steven Universe and a Sonic the Hedgehog level!

[@sirstashalot7441]

[@demimachia]
