For me, the more I listen to Louis Cole, the more convinced I become that he is a true once-in-a-generation genius. Not just in versatility and creativity, but maybe even more so in initiative and execution.

[@therealrussellsmyth]

Boom 🤟🏻

[@twelveeight86]

takes one to know one eh

[@Roberto-fp3qb]

very true.

[@dewimatthews6037]

Certainly my firm favorite recently.

[@3ldnah]

like eminem is to the beatles? just kidding i always hated that example

[@kirjian]

2:07 this fill is so saucy I replayed it like 50 times no joke

[@teemunnee]

I don't understand it. He just throws the most mind bending crap out of nowhere

[@rickmacdonald5575]

If you’re a musician who’s ever been in a free flowing zone you’d understand, a little bit anyway, and appreciate more maybe, also being somewhat stoned whilst doing it helps I think lol.

[@deejayjarrett]

Can confirm the "bag your groceries" bit is true; I was at a clinic where Louis got a question about his experience with the jazz greats, and he said he once bagged Wayne Shorter's groceries while working at the supermarket 😆

[@TheDanification]

Is Louis beefing with some artist? Or, just some artistic license with the lyrics?

[@szrnkabela]

So minimalistic, it gets even more under your skin than the concert version. 😊

[@Squizznot]

Favorite song on the album. Absolutely shredding that drum set apart beat by beat. I can't stand still when I listen to this!

[@raefmitchell6161]

My favourite too.

[@someguywithaphone5921]

The nastiest kickass drum breaks. Dude. Your tempo never fails to bob head.

[@MycatTwinkie]

The drumming is amazing ofc but the bass playing. The bassline perfectly blends the chords and drums and has these extra little ornamentations added here and there that push the song so hard. Arghh this song's so fucking good lol

[@henkdevries2002]

yes man the bass is soooo nice!

[@N8RoTH]

That little 8th-note walking fill at 3:07, so simple but blows my head off every time

[@Claptrap21]

Mr cleen is bald

[@cannabischannel]

Louis Cole isn't clowning around instead he's failing in a cool way

[@smugmode]

Louis is on another level

[@stuartdryer1352]

Not just cool. Cooler.

[@chromepanther9612]

I only heard the live version and now this makes it the song even better!!!!!

[@andrwwaugh]

In a cooler way!

[@smugmode]

Guys I need help with rent

[@Korben_DallasMultiPass]

I’m certain Frank Zappa would love this song

[@michaelluciano1980]

Yesss!

[@L.DOT.P.]

Absolutely... he probably would've loved him in general

[@isaiah147]

Dude! I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@Korben_DallasMultiPass]

@@isaiah147 it reminds me of Zappa’s early 80s period of long form pieces that are just crazy stories about wacky characters with sound effects and acting. Greggory Peccary and what not

[@dewimatthews]

He’s the love-child of Zappa, Walter Becker, Stevie Wonder and Shiela E. It was a wild night, nobody’s sure who the father is.

[@BlondieAndBeyond]

This is low key camp. Love it!

[@JaesNSC]

This sounds vaguely reminiscent of Louis enjoying clowning around from time to time

[@SuperJazzhead]

he's the best you'll ever hear

[@timsession6736]

What makes Louis Cole Way Cool, he successfully writes songs about failing.

[@ChrisSmout]

Excellent new track, plus even faster, madder, badder drum work than ever before!

[@Xumenade]

The evil parallel-dimension clone of, "Mean it."

[@MikeCheckProductions]

Clowncore with lyrics was something I did not know I wanted

[@Bebopopotamus]

Clowncore totally has lyrics

[@ContaminatedBeef]

Fuck Shit Fuck Shit Fuuuuck Shit -Clowncore, Surreal Cereal

[@Foeisudhxj]

Well... Lets just say that louis cole definitely absolutely totally isnt the clowncore drummer so i agree with you that there was nothing that couldve hinted towards this album being clowncore but with understandable vocals.

[@dislikesquare8749]

This was performed at Knower in their shows around 2017-18.

[@MrTsiolkovsky]

Louis must be preserved at all costs.

[@PrE233_]

Gilles Peterson dropped this one the other night in the middle of his DJ set at Nublu in NYC and everyone went crazy!

[@aashitrashi6125]

idk why or how this got into my recommendations but it helped me get unconstipated good shit

[@Symmetriad]

I love how this is half Knower and half Clowncore.

[@the_al_guy3169]

people in the streets of my city had to listen to this on repeat today

[@olyithiermusic]

So happy this tune has had it's official release, keep killen it LC!!!

[@paranoir]

now waiting for F it Up

[@JEASOUA]

@@paranoir i need Mean It

[@y0bc0]

been waiting for this one for a long time!!!

[@pincopanciopinco]

Me too

[@user-pu4mm9nm1v]

the typical your stuff and this is why I love you. Can't wait listen this song live next month!

[@paulopereira299]

best song of the album hands down, what a banger

[@liviujqusy7896]

I love this so much ever since I first heard the 2019 one with the killer sax solo plus the switch from 150bpm to 100bpm so vibey

[@Lienrak]

A true inspiration

[@MrThunderwing]

Saw Louis playing this live last Thursday ❤

[@wibme]

When I listen to Louis Cole, I find a madman in me

[@peterburgerproductions]

BANGER!

[@antoinekattar]

You tha greatest...4 real.

[@drpebblez]

SO TRUE

[@bravenkind7843]

I like this song I think it’s pretty great

[@andrwwaugh]

Louis Cole 4 president!

[@andrwwaugh]

(At least as the figurehead... there can be a kooky shadow government calling the shots and actually running things.. truth be told, I wouldn't want a life of politics getting in the way of his music output 🙏)

[@danette36]

Louis can you please come play at my funeral it's all I want from this world at this point

[@nibelungvalesti]

Superlative!

[@pincopanciopinco]

Non sbagli un pezzo. Per me sei il miglior compositore vivente!

[@s.r.a7507]

He speaks my mind 🎉😅

[@jacobeid]

This is so fucking good.

[@smugmode]

I like your vocals in this song

[@Jiminoverheroin]

This feels like a manifesto

[@alanlechengchao4026]

this is a club banger

[@lulumoon6942]

I selfishly don't want LC to have so much success that he stops being hungry to create. 👀

[@JamesOKlippel]

I love seeing the most replayed sections are probably just drummers trying to copy his fills lol

[@devinplayseverything3764]

Louis Cole is the shit

[@ZannokP]

nice man

[@Maggie-zu9xq]

POG????

[@Liz-qf5dm]

shoot a MV for this song it deserves it!

[@ventoghost9964]

1:22 and 2:07 are just great ear candy to repeat over and over again

[@zacstanford]

This made people crazy at The Fonda in Hollywood the other day.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Can’t wait to hear a live version of this with Sam Wilkes on bass………

[@goblinbastard]

I heard it last week in Eugene. Simply amazing. Sam wasn't on bass, but the current bassist touring with him also tears it up

[@GCKuss23]

Isn't this Sam? Sounds a lot like him

[@ShumRecordsChannel]

I miss the scary chord

[@cannabischannel]

Louis Cole can you please release 'Metal' and 'High Five?'

[@markkmchugh]

Big love. Ty for slapping me out of exsistANTZ

[@akalauerbach9705]

😂😂😂😂😂lyrics 👍🏽🚀💥

[@jaimesuarezpa]

where is the fucking video? I love this song so much I play it a million times an hour

[@JashtheBrash]

Sad that there wasn't a dip to 2/3 time like the live version, but this is still tight af

[@smugmode]

Also the lyrics trip me out

[@blinkerthestar1]

KNOWER

[@dfoster2513]

I don't remember Shazaming this song but I'm glad I did 😂

[@andrewsinclair7159]

I have spent the entire past year trying to figure out who this song is about.

[@Dmyra]

my head stars doing that thing Genevieve and Chiquita do live

[@ahobimo732]

My only aspiration in life is to fail in a cooler way.

[@smugmode]

Also, also the beat is erie, but in a cooler way

[@douglasjamesmartin]

make more dance music. :O

[@uncacaeotolsmith7100]

Supoyb!!!!! 👽

[@vavaman]

Clown Core?

[@MrBeani-ns3zb]

M a d a g a s c a r

[@addon0]

bloc party ratchet revived

[@seeer3240]

Who is this song about?

[@NEOL1NK]

The way I read it, a silver-spooned jerk who's famous because they make vapid music for people at clubs, I guess, who maybe acts full of themselves and puts Louis down. He's saying that at least when he's failing, he does so in a cooler way because he worked really hard to make something honest and meaningful, and he didn't get a head start. Could be a specific person, or could be a type of person.

[@karlstenator]

All

[@nkershaw]

These lyrics. I just am so confused!!!!!! lol Someone help!

[@TheDanification]

Same!

[@NicholasSeaney]

It's soooo bad I had to Shazam it

[@FANQTA_]

I am here before tik tok uses this sound (Ps I am making my mark at 1k views)

[@koanbread8466]

First!!

[@Weathermane79]

Yes. This. I don't like the Justin Timberlake shit, sorry....

[@uncle_saag]

good grief the music sounds how he looks 👎

[@LiamGervaise]

Fucking arousing?

[@tylersrevenge]

Amazing, though admittedly I'm legit a little heart-broken you didn't add the half-time part. 🥲
