The binary in the video translated means: humanity must create art in some form to fulfill its purpose...and people around you need more love than you realize These guys are awesome
I don't know if they are *only* doing this as a joke, but this shit is seriously starting to speak to me. It's absurdity and the mix between creepy, funny and legitimately majestic vibes in both imagery and music resonate with some part of me that is starved. I am sure this is just some sort of parody, so I feel like an idiot feeling this is actually one of the most progressive shit I have heard in a while.
I think the original clown core stuff from way back was just two bored and talented musicians making a gag band but this new stuff is pretty complex in comparison. Lots of other bands get by doing weird stuff like this
Secret Chiefs 3 too, which was basically Mr. Bungle sans Patton, although there (after the first album) I think Trey may have been legitimately trying to make a religious statement
There was a, now deleted, compliation on youtube called something like "The Random Life" waaaayyy back in 2008 that was comprised of a bunch of surreal Gifs that had been lifted from Something Awful and set to the weirdest music I've ever heard. For the first time in ten years... I've got the feeling it gave me.
Nope but it was defintely in that vein! I remeber there was a "Night at the Roxbury" gif where all the actor's faces were replaced with Morgan Freeman. Typical mid to late noughties internet humor.
If you just close your eyes it's nothing short of an absolute masterclass in jazz. If you don't close your eyes you're basically f@cked for life. Both options are fine.
Great surprise to see you here Anthony bro :) These guys are like Naked City, Mr Bungle, Meshugah, Napalm Death, Zappa and Death Grips all rolled into one duo
i showed this video to my sister and she told me 'this video was like if they brainstormed ideas for a music video and decided to use all of the ideas'
This video came out on my birthday, I'd like to believe that it represents everything that I stand for and all that has ever been. It is my flaws, faults, my inner struggles. It is my bliss, my release, my everlasting strive to reach a Utopia inside my own mind. Thank you for the birthday present Clownq0re
And yet they have a million influences woven into the rich tapestry that is two clowns jamming in a portapotty. But you’re right. You can’t even call this “anti-music”. It’s too danceable to pigeonhole into any experimental genre.
Honestly the best saxophone melody I've ever heard, the synth accompaniment fits it to a tee too. Also the myriad ways in which they die inside the port-o-potty had me in fucking stitches.
Imagine waking up from a coma after 15 years... You’re thrust from the hospital to assimilate to a new life. A new culture. You turn on the radio to hear that one thing hasn’t changed. Annoying, deep voiced men shouting the station name at you. “WCOK BRINGING YOU THE BEST HITS OF 2033!” The transition sound plays, and from the silence that follows... this song plays.
0:00 - 0:25 the frantic life of a common lizard we scurry in the dirt and leaves living the everyday struggle to survive, eating, fighting, shitting, fucking, trying to avoid becoming prey 0:26 - 0:28 some person comes along smoking a joint and spots the lizard, frozen in a bid to avoid being seen 0:28 - 0:31 the person blows a cloud over the lizard 0:31 - 0:32 zoom to the lizard's eye as some sort of new realization makes itself apparent to the lizard's simple brain 0:32 - 0:37 the lizard thinks new thoughts it didn't know it could have 0:38 a new fresh breath for the lizard 0:39 - 0:44 it blinks... the thoughts flood in until 0:48 - 2:02 epiphany! The lizard runs around with an entirely new perspective on its world and what surrounds it. It notices things the way it never did before. Things beyond itself and it's survival are all around. Its world is magical and interesting now, the water drops falling, a lady bug flying, pollen in the winds, the amazement of the lizard's world beyond just survival is absorbed as the lizard runs around observing the world its newly learned to learn about. 2:02 the realization that it is only a fragile lizard in a garden where its life is a daily struggle for survival becomes more and more looming as it realizes despite any enlightenment or epiphany it must... 2:08 SURVIVE! a repeat of the first sequence with the lizard running from place to place to eat, fight, fuck, and shit, avoiding becoming prey, regardless of any grand realizations, it is caught in the trap of its surroundings, with its newfound awareness the lizard even more conscious of the struggle it is caught within. We see this play out until the final beep upon which the lizard is snatched up by a bird.
Now this would really be something to play as a backdrop during a wedding ceremony. The expressions on the guests faces would be priceless and if anyone has anything negative to say simply state in a condescending voice that they just don't understand art.
I think humans evolved to have some kind of reward mechanism attached to the idea of finding meaning or purpose in things. The interesting thing about art is that it is developed in such a way that the creator and the consumer both find different meanings but the fact they find it is what gives it the meaning. It's the same mechanism that allows for someone to see things in clouds and ink blots or the message in a poem or song. Specifically that feeling once you see whatever it is that you see, not just the ability to see things but the reward system attached to that process. The conclusions discovered can vary widely but the journey each person goes through is what makes the whole experience rewarding and personal/meaningful. I think art plays on this system we have developed for survivalistic reasons but we've found some alternative ways to resonate with that.
Saw a wee segment featuring ClownC0re on Adult Swim and was blown away. So glad I took the time to pop over and check the rest of their rampant insanity out.
Lou Coooooooole, your talents are only dwarfed by your astounding and refreshing lack of ego and humble creative spirit. Inspiring is such a gross understatement
I worked in surgery, in the OR. I'm deeply offended yet intrigued. If there was a hinge to share, I bet these musos wouldn't share it. I love this work, by the way. The rhythms are tight and baffling. It's expressionist, and compelling. I would give you money, but life is meaningless. I think you grasp existentialist thought. All hail to the clown king (not really a thing) no hail THE CLOWN KINGS look that's marginally better Ram it up ya Khyber Pass lads Bonjour
well that was something
Kmac2021 the fuck you doing here?
Klaas Bousma where the memes go Kmac is there.
Kmac2021 didn’t expect you here.
Kmac! Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone that shit djents.
Kmac ?
The binary in the video translated means:

Yeah that figures... it fits with the tone of video
It's truth and life.
didn`t read comments, translated from binary by myself :)
@@hellhelll1376 Wow you're so strong! Do you want a medal?
Can't like because it has 666 likes and I find it weirdly fitting so I'll just leave this comment here instead
I think the world is ready for Clown Core
Lets hope.
My body is very ready
We are witnessing history of music being made.
It’s that time
Clown core with more clowns...
I don't know if they are *only* doing this as a joke, but this shit is seriously starting to speak to me. It's absurdity and the mix between creepy, funny and legitimately majestic vibes in both imagery and music resonate with some part of me that is starved.

Eli Parsons Mr. Bungle didn't come off as simplistic at all, and their catalogue shows how complex Patton's ideas were, in my opinion.
Secret Chiefs 3 too, which was basically Mr. Bungle sans Patton, although there (after the first album) I think Trey may have been legitimately trying to make a religious statement
Fuchsia 'tude hell yeah, boys. I'll check Secret Chiefs
I feel you
Binary says:
humanity must create art in some form to fulfill its purpose
and people around you need more love than you realize
that is... oddly poignant. im gonna go rethink my life choices for a second, be right back
Shit son the people around me do need more love.
Holy fuck I love this band!
Thus proving that these two are in fact benevolent forces of chaos.
Pin dis
Please don't leave for another nine years
why stop at 9
I hope we have them for a lot longer
@@txroshow me too i love the mix that they do by including sax into metal
clowncore stepped out for a smoke and they didn't come back again for 9 years :[
NEW ALBUM SEPTEMBER 23RD 2020!!!!!!
*lying in bed
Her: You better not be thinking about other girls
Me:
D. Burns hell yeah
Toilet is still my favorite but I like that this one is longer.
So true
lol!!!
Ah ha ha! This is the truth!
Okay this is definitely half of KNOWER.
Ashwath Nair oh man I thought I was alone on this one
sssh don't tell anybody
look at the fuckin body structure of left clown. definitely louis.
A buddy of mine who attended USC with them said clown core was born out of the practice rooms there.. 100% louis cole and sam gendel
@@katznels5 Why am I seeing this comment only now? MIND BLOWN!!
I feel bad for those who are afraid of clowns because they're missing out
they experience these videos as they are intended, if they enjoy the music, it is the ultimate juxtaposition.
Honestly fucking terrified of clowns but i cannot stop watching these videos
4 years later and it’s still some of the most impressive chord progressions I have ever heard, incredible 🎉
my highest respect to this composition
There was a, now deleted, compliation on youtube called something like "The Random Life" waaaayyy back in 2008 that was comprised of a bunch of surreal Gifs that had been lifted from Something Awful and set to the weirdest music I've ever heard. For the first time in ten years... I've got the feeling it gave me.
ruclips.net/video/oFRacpYt5F0/видео.html
You sure it wasn't this?
Nope but it was defintely in that vein! I remeber there was a "Night at the Roxbury" gif where all the actor's faces were replaced with Morgan Freeman. Typical mid to late noughties internet humor.
Apologies for not being more specific, I would have been about eleven or twelve when I first saw it.
I feel so confused after watching that video... W-what did I look at and listen to?
Do you have a link to that video
Seriously this goes harder than like 99% of actual metal songs. Can't get enough of this track.
I like that Clown Core doesn't use any gimmicks.
It's refreshing.
wut
STupid moron, they use instruments to make music thats the biggest gimmick I ever seent
What do you mean by gimmicks?
like high-low mix ups and staggered assist calles
Well the porta potty is technically a gimmick.
But holy fuck is it original
If you just close your eyes it's nothing short of an absolute masterclass in jazz.
If you don't close your eyes you're basically f@cked for life.
Both options are fine.
This is some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard and I wish more people listened to this cataclysmic art.
The drummers timing skills are insane
I love how the feedback is all overwhelmingly positive. This shit is so amazing in such an odd way
This video really helped me to better understand my childhood. Thanks, Clown Core. You saved my life.
Great surprise to see you here Anthony bro :)
These guys are like Naked City, Mr Bungle, Meshugah, Napalm Death, Zappa and Death Grips all rolled into one duo
OceanMachine haha can’t keep me from weird music!
It's nice to see them finally experimenting. Breaking away from their more mainstream music.
When were they mainstream
mainstream of pee or cum i cannot tell, but yes i agree... or it could be blood?
Why do I feel like Eric Andre would love this
because you all over Eric Andre's D
he would. i'm just waiting for him to discover it
This is very adult swim vibe.
Because its on adult swim too! ruclips.net/video/5boDnGpPZ8g/видео.html
gabry Eric is a douche nozzle
i showed this video to my sister and she told me 'this video was like if they brainstormed ideas for a music video and decided to use all of the ideas'
“Out of all the songs out there, this is certainly one of them.”
Will forever be my favourite description of clowncore.
What a phenomenal band.
Okay I'm sold that Louis Cole is behind this.
Jo Devwar Vesely it is
I'm convinced, but no confirmation.
For the last time, they are Left Clown and Right Clown and they clearly aren't from the mortal realm.
Manuel A their names are Brendan and Fraser
I mean the drumer is left handed and plays drum'n'bass style rythms of course is him
My eyes have been opened and I now accept this as the true way of living.
I love how much these videos have been progressively getting more batshit.
Sam and Louis are musical geniuses!
You know who they are?.. Wich Sam? everybody said that is Louis Cole but wich Sam ur talking?
Tejuino Holbox! Sam Gendel, if I am not mistaken
This is very influential. I like this music.
This video came out on my birthday, I'd like to believe that it represents everything that I stand for and all that has ever been. It is my flaws, faults, my inner struggles. It is my bliss, my release, my everlasting strive to reach a Utopia inside my own mind. Thank you for the birthday present Clownq0re
Well. I guess this is what jazz is now.
Hahahaha!
All for it.
And it is beautiful.
I love these guys. also their aesthetic reminds me of old school youtube which is comforting
Against all commonplaces. Boldly venturing out, where no idiom exists. - Thanks for this.
And yet they have a million influences woven into the rich tapestry that is two clowns jamming in a portapotty. But you’re right. You can’t even call this “anti-music”. It’s too danceable to pigeonhole into any experimental genre.
You guys are legit some of the most creative musicians of our time
I've been waiting for this type of thing since Mr. Bungle.
Clowncore:
Many years later...
Djent and memes.
Clowncore: ...
Finally, a good ring-tone for my important calls.
Honestly the best saxophone melody I've ever heard, the synth accompaniment fits it to a tee too. Also the myriad ways in which they die inside the port-o-potty had me in fucking stitches.
All my teeth fell out of my head while listening to this.
I always wanted to be able to give myself a velvetine head job anyway, so congratulations!!
Imagine waking up from a coma after 15 years... You’re thrust from the hospital to assimilate to a new life. A new culture. You turn on the radio to hear that one thing hasn’t changed.

i can't die untill Clowcore will perform live at THE SPHERE in Las Vegas
by far their best song!
0:50 onward is the best thing ever. Wish they did longer tracks.
clown core speaks to my soul. thank you for existing.
You don't know you like Clown core until you listen to Clown core
Holy damn, their editing is getting better and better.
This video is actually brilliant. It's the space time continuum looping over and over just as it does in this current reality.
There are no words to describe how amazing these guys' art really is
How did I miss these guys my hole life?? I adore this band 😂😂🎉❤
I like how you can just pick notes and find a path to them and go wherever you want. You have no idea how much that is important. (Yes do you)
This would fit so well in a Cowboy Bebop episode...
This is actually the most musically inspiring thing I have heard in years. If you don't mind, I'm going to go play with my synths now. Thank you.
0:50 this is where Knower starts to leak their presence 😉
Can I get an internship
Life is simple - I see a clowncore video, I watch it. And that is all
0:00 - 0:25 the frantic life of a common lizard we scurry in the dirt and leaves living the everyday struggle to survive, eating, fighting, shitting, fucking, trying to avoid becoming prey
0:26 - 0:28 some person comes along smoking a joint and spots the lizard, frozen in a bid to avoid being seen
0:28 - 0:31 the person blows a cloud over the lizard
0:31 - 0:32 zoom to the lizard's eye as some sort of new realization makes itself apparent to the lizard's simple brain
0:32 - 0:37 the lizard thinks new thoughts it didn't know it could have
0:38 a new fresh breath for the lizard
0:39 - 0:44 it blinks... the thoughts flood in until
0:48 - 2:02 epiphany! The lizard runs around with an entirely new perspective on its world and what surrounds it. It notices things the way it never did before. Things beyond itself and it's survival are all around. Its world is magical and interesting now, the water drops falling, a lady bug flying, pollen in the winds, the amazement of the lizard's world beyond just survival is absorbed as the lizard runs around observing the world its newly learned to learn about.
2:02 the realization that it is only a fragile lizard in a garden where its life is a daily struggle for survival becomes more and more looming as it realizes despite any enlightenment or epiphany it must...
2:08 SURVIVE!
a repeat of the first sequence with the lizard running from place to place to eat, fight, fuck, and shit, avoiding becoming prey, regardless of any grand realizations, it is caught in the trap of its surroundings, with its newfound awareness the lizard even more conscious of the struggle it is caught within. We see this play out until the final beep upon which the lizard is snatched up by a bird.
Porta-crapper as TARDIS is absolute brilliance.
Now this would really be something to play as a backdrop during a wedding ceremony. The expressions on the guests faces would be priceless and if anyone has anything negative to say simply state in a condescending voice that they just don't understand art.
The best record ever in the universe.
I think humans evolved to have some kind of reward mechanism attached to the idea of finding meaning or purpose in things. The interesting thing about art is that it is developed in such a way that the creator and the consumer both find different meanings but the fact they find it is what gives it the meaning.
It's the same mechanism that allows for someone to see things in clouds and ink blots or the message in a poem or song. Specifically that feeling once you see whatever it is that you see, not just the ability to see things but the reward system attached to that process. The conclusions discovered can vary widely but the journey each person goes through is what makes the whole experience rewarding and personal/meaningful.
I think art plays on this system we have developed for survivalistic reasons but we've found some alternative ways to resonate with that.
Best thing ive heard all year, not even kidding!!!!
Yall got the polyrhythms for DAAAYS
Finally, something I can understand.
bruh... these cats know their music theory well!!!.... let that sink in!
Raytheon Orion listen to overtime by knower (live band sesh version). these guys are incredible
i actually woke up during surgery, so i feel very identified with this song.
this is actually incredible
Congratulations, you have reached Cyriak-levels of WTF-ery!
oh my god I forgot so long ago, and tried to remember so many times. I can't quite say thank you but actually thank you.
Wonderful!! Very jaz like and experimental. I heard heavy groups with sax before and NEVER sounded like it fit. This fits and melds so well!
This is exactly what it feels like when you have the spins
bro why does it sound like Machine Girl😭😭😭 And its awesome btw
This completes me.
WHY DO I LIKE THIS SO MUCH
i do too i want to die
This shreds so hard! I keep coming back for more. My fav from ClownC0re! Thanks friends
This came to me at just the right time in life.
Couldnt have said it better!!!
UNLEASH THE CLOWNCORE.
FOR THE TIME HAS COME.

Saw a wee segment featuring
ClownC0re on Adult Swim and was blown away. So glad I took the time to pop over and check the rest of their rampant insanity out.
Some more classical music from my favorite band
yo these dudes would make fuckin top tier videogame music
He’s so good at improv and I need more
I believe youtube recommended me this for a greater purpose .. such pure art..blessing in sane E T ..and love
If I had to describe this in jazz terms, it's like "The Still-Birth of the Cool"....
I admire the top-notch production value. Seriously.
holy shit these guys are genuine musicians
the mix between genuinely artistic stuff and what feels like early YTMND is incredible
Thank you
Lou Coooooooole, your talents are only dwarfed by your astounding and refreshing lack of ego and humble creative spirit. Inspiring is such a gross understatement
Humanity has begun it's ascension into the afternow.
Symbolises the last 2 years in 1 song
So this is what I get in my recommended when I was watching jazz theory videos.
🤣🤣🤣
You guys are the best thing to hit the internet since 2008
Love how intelligent their song structures actually are.

This molests me in a good way
This is art.

Just found these guys, was waiting for the shit can to explode. Thank you!
1:25 what episode of Doctor Who is that? :^)
It's the TURDIS
Looks like a Davison-era one.
