This album is like a little treasure only a handful of people have to themselves.

[@ethanhoneywell]

it's way better shared

[@animalblundetto6510]

Yes

[@fords_nothere_100]

Wonderful, ethereal and original. The nod to Pet Sounds/ Brian Wilson is overt, but so perfectly executed it's overwhelming and understated all at once.

[@paulremington1465]

This is a remarkable album. I just bumped into it after watching his KNOWER work on video. This album is like listening to the earliest works of Frank Zappa. Not in the style of writing, but in the maturity of execution. We have here a brilliantly talented young man who, like Zappa, is unusually adept at all aspects of composing music, and it's applied towards a wide array of styles. Grains of Sand blew me away. It's so well thought out with deeply beautiful lyrics that work perfectly with the bossa nova style. I can't tell I'm not listening to a piece written in the '60s by Jobim. And he performs all the instruments, does all the writing, and records it all himself? Louis Cole is someone to watch over the years. I'm amazed.

[@jonnyjib]

Paul Remington well said!

[@portcherish]

Your work has changed something inside of me for the better. Thank you.

[@davejones611]

I was just introduced to this music on 4/28/19. I just about love every song on this album.

[@thesoftersideofsears]

wow, it's too bad this guy's so low key, his music is so creative. deserves to be heard and appreciated by more people in my opinion.

[@guglacownt5946]

I totally agree!

[@je-pq3de]

its happening... i think

[@luanpommier]

I agree too!!

[@eyeofbass]

Louis is an amazingly-talented musician. I stumbled on him when I got hooked on Knower.

[@SakiDG]

@@je-pq3de it happened!!!!!

[@robertnettleship5467]

I can't get enough of this album. :) the production is incredible

[@sensibility1174]

It's really crazy how good this is.

[@gerardfabisch]

Ennio Morricone and Jerry Goldsmith comes to mind immediately! Very well done Sir!

[@jamiemcintosh1234]

my thoughts exactly

[@iwanttobefree3739]

"You'll believe me" sounds like an unused cut straight out of the Pet Sounds recording sessions.

[@guglacownt5946]

yes

[@gregdolecki8530]

Exactly

[@raykent4533]

Beach Boys 2.0

[@emseewagz]

10 months late to this comment party. yes.

[@woodengod]

Chopin, Trois nouvelles études, No. 2

[@benlemi8176]

this is very Smile

[@nathheast5829]

I know a guy who's listened to the Beach Boys and Aphex Twin

[@henkdevries2002]

I hear the beach boys influence, but havent listened to a lot of Aphex twin. Is there anything in particular by Aphex Twin that this music reminds you of? I'm trying to find out where this beautiful music could come from.

[@nathheast5829]

@@henkdevries2002 I guess I was thinking of the second part of You Will See, which reminds me a little of the Aphex Twin album Drukqs, also in several tracks remind me of the song Milk Man. Maybe check out the piece Alberto Balsalm and more generally the selected ambient works -- a blessing to listen to while working.

[@alsaulso1332]

grammy!!!! he needs a grammy!!!

[@guglacownt5946]

He's too good for a meaningless grammy

[@alsaulso1332]

true that!

[@luanpommier]

What an amazing, creative, interesting and very beautiful work! His music should be heard everywhere! It’s easy to say that someone is good or bad when you don’t know the person or her univers, but it’s only when you learn more about this person that you understand her univers. This album is amazing!

[@perfectdarkness4618]

When Beck realize there’s a new Sheriff in town !

[@12elatrommi10]

You'll believe me's one of the best tracks i've ever heard.

[@je-pq3de]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeees

[@evanwills1332]

BEAUTIFUL

[@dianaderamon-rius1760]

A brilliant special creation - love it !!!

[@peterdvideos]

Louis Cole is definitely his own guy. Genius. But on this I hear shades of Brian Wilson and Todd Rundgren. Fantastic stuff.

[@guglacownt5946]

You probably already do, but fuck with his channel. He puts up super dope stuff and his other band Knower is killer too

[@danielcropp8553]

hell yeah! KNOWER is amazing.

[@mrkkdc6592]

Is it me, or the cover of the album reminds of Jim Morrison?

[@whatno5090]

Like a Match, Below the Valleys are my favorites but they're all amazing, even the super experimental ones like Clouds and You Will See.

[@heatherlynn2695]

9 years ago!!! i feel like the biggest loser rn for not discovering this brilliant maniac till 2 days ago..

[@xtendedline]

beautiful album, great!

[@spiritform111]

great music!

[@danielcropp8553]

awesome stuff!

[@theloniouspunk6957]

That is incredibly tasteful.

[@franzkrauspenhaar3794]

Amazing music, congratulations.

[@dzaijn]

Grains of Sand sounds like if the band Mew were born in south america. Amazing.

[@victorparry7]

insider alert he is working on a new solo album so hang in there ... sshhhhh don't say I told you he kill me !!;)

[@guglacownt5946]

I hope you are right

[@BruthaT]

Incredible album. Peace Brutha!

[@Rickh4]

You've got this incredible talent I've only just found out about. Then you have Ed Sheeran. Fuck. Sake.

[@czarodziejeee1367]

So nice. Keep it up bro

[@scottwelsch4139]

Louis is a musical genius. That is all.

[@intestellarknight]

First track is so beautiful ! make me think of 2001 space odyssey

[@lithiumdeuteride]

I was sure it was a tribute to Aram Khachaturian.

[@andrewgroom2824]

no bartok

[@dab9173]

Шикарно!

[@j.gregory649]

The intro to this album is a brilliant tribute to Bartok's "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta". This guy is a serious artist. His (and Artada's) latest collaboration with WDR Big Band is just out of the stratosphere. kzbin.info_lY

[@apothecurio]

18:58 you have any idea how fucking ballsy this switchup is.

[@mongaloogirl]

Man. Below The Valleys is like getting punched in the gut in the best way.

[@kevave54]

I understand all the very positif comments here, but I prefer the Louis Cole of 2022! It's quite a difference in atmosphere - easy listening and a lot of close harmony - and his way of singing too. Only 'You will see' gives a glimps of what had become nowadays.

[@kevave54]

of what he had become now: a very interesting and creative musician!

[@kevave54]

and Clouds too!

[@je-pq3de]

It grows on you i promise

[@jonaskatona7136]

Leaving the Planet sounds VERY similar to the beginning of Béla Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, mvt. 1. Great artists influence other great artists.

[@NickCarlozzi]

Came looking for this comment. VERY Bartoky

[@danielabrantes1392]

Comprei, simples assim. Bom demais

[@franckdebank]

More than keepin'it low key such a gem should belong to some sort of a hidden place to unveil itself only to true seekers.

[@HarveyKarate]

18:54 - You Will See (not 16:54)

[@PeterCooperUK]

"You'll Believe Me" sounds more like Brian Wilson than Brian Wilson does and that's quite something

[@alecaventura]

Hell yes!

[@GuilhermePicchetti]

ótimo...

[@danielcropp8553]

Sim!

[@WaveVibe]

The begin sound like bartok lol

[@UberTurtle12]

I was thinking Shostakovich

[@supersayre]

Is it just me, or does Below The Valleys have alt rock hit written all over it? I feel like this could have been on the radio.

[@johnhildebrand3912]

reminds me of Panda Bear.

[@lefrise5]

10:30 Did I start listening to Pet Sounds?

[@fabioocohen]

Excelente

[@falamble]

Why isn't Louis Cole putting out more music and why aren't his friends keeping him locked in a cellar until he does?

[@robertnettleship5467]

falamble He does but with a band called KNOWER. Their sick! :D

[@ddoksurl]

LOL

[@PedroPetracco]

His recent album Time is great.

[@claessim]

sounds a bit like the Beach Boys no? Well, kind of....

[@CaseyRoche]

Wish he were more prolific.

[@guglacownt5946]

check out his other project called KNOWER. knowermusic.bandcamp.com/ it's louis cole and a female vocalist. The style is more like electro pop, but definitely has louis cole's creative harmonic madness

[@Axacqk]

+gugl acownt The female vocalist is Genevieve Artadi. Her voice is my Stendhal syndrome trigger. The two of them together... no words!

[@taralen1101]

Below the Valleys, is just a chill song.
