Prince: locks up hundreds of outtakes in a vault, then dies Louis: posts hundreds of outtakes on RUclips at 4am, then makes more outtakes The choice is obvious.
Prince: Groomer, made one musical alter-ego but had a bad acid trip and canned it, went through backing bands like a bull in a china shop. Louis: Groover, has had a musical alter-ego for going on a decade, is still working with the same people he was with when he started his career.
There are no (or no longer) B-sides or Deluxe Edition bonus tracks. There are still singles, but anyone of the released tracks are potential singles to someone in the weird part of the night (or day, depending on geographical location). It’s almost 7 am here in Central Mexico, I got up an hour ago, and this release hits me just right. Good god, this is jazz! ( 5:17 End of the Night) I didn’t even know I needed some jazz this morning.
Don’t know if this has been pointed out in comments: track 4, End of the Night is performed by the current class at the Herbie Hancock Institute at UCLA. All incredible players, and this track is a massively beautiful piece of ensemble writing .
Ah yes, Herbie Hancock, the man who invented cursive writing in the 1980s. Dude played a mad game of paper rock scissors, if were talking about the same dude.
it's incredible that one can be so technically skilled across the board and still be deeply emotional expressive at the same time. for me that is the definition of an artist that is a genius. these songs will probably become even more legendary than the official releases ;)
This is really nice. I watched an interview with Louis recently and he admitted he was a huge Boards of Canada fan, especially their old, unreleased tracks. I can definitely hear that influence on the songs Tiny Losses and Hawaii ❤
Easy. You have a deep body of work because all you do is write hot music and document your ideas. He is surrounded by amazing talents and inspiring individuals, touring the world, creating, meeting people, touching lives, Long live LC.
EXACTLY! But approachable no matter what level of music you know or don't know, and whatever genre you might like a lot, and also his lyrics are amazing too!
How did I miss this one? Beautiful, this is music that regulates my nervous system right back into wholeness. Louis Cole, you are a true master of the human instrument and a cosmically gifted being. That's the magic right there, all these other instruments you play and arrange so beautifully just to facilitate the rest of us attuning to the most joyful, healing and divine frequencies of which we are capable.
First time I saw a video of Louis was at the secret sky festival 2020 (livestream). I'm going on his concert this sunday in Berlin. A small dream coming true 🥺
Thanks Lois! this is great. if i still had my jazz combo i would tell the guys to learn End Of The Night today, because we are goin to play it on saturday.
Really really love 'End of the night'. These are all so good! Your style of composition and harmony has always connected a lot with me and been really influential for my music. Thanks for releasing these demos :))
In a way it already is! Check out the ending part to Message. It's the same chord progression. I love both. Hawaii has more of a "dreamy" vibe though. Love that synth patch
Yeah, the last project was indeed a bit long, and a bit all over the place. I liked it more because of it but letting these songs out seems like the sensible decision. I also appreciate the chill songs quite a bit, they and the guitar were the highlight of the album to anxious little me and having a bunch new songs like that dropping just like that is highly appreciated.
hi Mr Cole, i don’t know if you’ll be able to get around to seeing these comments but i just saw you at glastonbury. i have loved watching all the big massive people and i really have, i watched your band and just loved every f-ing minute. I had a big fat smile on my face. i’ll get to my point. 1. usually when i hear jazz chops it bores the shit out of me. But your band was just so mental the virtuosity just complimented the music and built on what was there. So i loved hearing the other musicians. 2. I thought it was clear as day that you love your guys, and letting them shine like that i think is great and you know, some not all but some acts weren’t really about the ensemble. 3. That one with the angry triplets, fucking love that. I made think of that mingus canon track but on speed. So there you go, a fan ranting at you. But you all brought significant joy to my soul. And i’m so glad i sacked off the pyramid stage to find you. Bangin’ best wishes
Your music, Knower, and ClownC0re live on my Playlist in the first spots. I love your music so much. You and another composer, Pogo, just get me. Amazing.
@@WromWrom At this point, it's just not true, but hey, you should be glad all these amazing artists finally get some well deserved recognition, even if you've known about Louis and Sam from the very first toilet cubicle

this 24-minute-long ethereal micro-LP is throwaway work by Louis Cole and still one of the best releases of the year
I love that all Louis Cole uploads and Knower uploads are in "The Weird Part of the Night." Very fitting
It's in the weird part of the morning here tho :)
the weird part of noon right here :D
weird part of the year for me, and clowncore is when everything goes very very wrong
that’s when his big ideas hit of course

I’m a truck driver and this album is on repeat while I cruise through the states . Tiny losses
Thanks for doing what you do Sergio ❤
@@GTICHATTER 🙏 not a problem. I love what I do. I’ve seen some beautiful places, and have met some lovely people .
Don’t know if this has been pointed out in comments: track 4, End of the Night is performed by the current class at the Herbie Hancock Institute at UCLA. All incredible players, and this track is a massively beautiful piece of ensemble writing .
Really?? It sounds absolutely incredible. I actually went to the comments to see what people said about 04, since I love it so much
I am a musician by education - I rarely get shivers when I listen to something, and here? yes.
Ah yes, Herbie Hancock, the man who invented cursive writing in the 1980s. Dude played a mad game of paper rock scissors, if were talking about the same dude.
LC with the most brutally casual flex of randomly dropping a treasure trove of rejects, any of which I'd have have killed to write myself.
Louis just casually dropping music whenever, can't wait for the KNOWER album in June
It's like a blanket of louis cole soundscapes that you can put on whenever you're working.
It's perfect for that
Louis could tackle making a Minecraft soundtrack with no problem whatsoever
I'm literally playing this while at work now. This is perfect!
it's incredible that one can be so technically skilled across the board and still be deeply emotional expressive at the same time. for me that is the definition of an artist that is a genius. these songs will probably become even more legendary than the official releases ;)
Emotional expressive -> artist, technically proficient -> also studies! The whole package
I agree~you state this exactly well!
This is really nice. I watched an interview with Louis recently and he admitted he was a huge Boards of Canada fan, especially their old, unreleased tracks. I can definitely hear that influence on the songs Tiny Losses and Hawaii ❤
After seeing that interview I could hear all the influences and ran to listen to Gustav Mahler.
I also just watched that interview and was listening to Random 35 while working the day before this dropped
@@Ashanmaril Awesome! It's always good to hear from fellow BOC listeners. Their music and Louis Cole's music are pretty much part of my daily life 👍
BoC really defined me as a listener/person in my teenage years, now louis does the same in my late 20's
five minutes through and every song so far is a masterpiece. How can you drop something like this with no warning.
I'm now on my second listen
Easy. You have a deep body of work because all you do is write hot music and document your ideas. He is surrounded by amazing talents and inspiring individuals, touring the world, creating, meeting people, touching lives, Long live LC.
Cause LC the goat
Palmdale Cruisin' is such a bop!
agreed!
he's been using it in promo vids for almost a year now and he finally dropped it. Such a banger!!
Lovin it
Sitting right next to the beach, listening to this while looking at the sea, this is relaxing.
This is bringing unexpected light to a very dark day in my life. Thanks.
me too lol
Mad respect to Louis Cole utilizing his advanced knowledge of harmony and instrumentation textures in the service of the music!
EXACTLY! But approachable no matter what level of music you know or don't know, and whatever genre you might like a lot, and also his lyrics are amazing too!
I like those classical instrumental parts. Louis is a great musician.
Sound Is A Gift To All Of Us
End of the night is so beautiful!
How did I miss this one? Beautiful, this is music that regulates my nervous system right back into wholeness.
Louis Cole, you are a true master of the human instrument and a cosmically gifted being. That's the magic right there, all these other instruments you play and arrange so beautifully just to facilitate the rest of us attuning to the most joyful, healing and divine frequencies of which we are capable.
Thanks for inviting us all into your harmonic blissland, Louis
Thanks for letting me dream Louis ❤
Every one of these tracks is absolutely amazing, but especially Tiny Losses, Disappear Again, and Palmdale Cruisin'. Totally killing.
The slow, quiet, contemplative songs are my favourite. I could listen to them all day
Same! I love funky Louis Cole, but dreamy Louis Cole speaks to me on another level
@@LouisR56 same
Pretty guitar has such a great chord progression, it brightens and darkens so smoothly
whoah I didn't wake up today expecting "Selected Ambient Works" from LC, this is incredible! Can we plz have a long form LP one day maybe?!
First time I saw a video of Louis was at the secret sky festival 2020 (livestream).
I'm going on his concert this sunday in Berlin. A small dream coming true 🥺
This is the best "ambient music" album I've heard in some time. I think several could be developed into significant works.
Using unused songs and calling them unused WHILST actually using them making them used songs..... respect
End of the Night. Goosebumps.
Thanks Lois! this is great.
if i still had my jazz combo i would tell the guys to learn End Of The Night today, because we are goin to play it on saturday.
Dude, for real, thank you so much for sharing this with us. BEYOND pumped to finally see you live next month!!!
If there is a Definition of Modern Impressionism, this is the quintessential example, just beautiful and magnificent.
God willing he's gonna grow to be one of THE American composers. Those harmonies, those resolutions. Good Lord.
I’m happy that I’m here for this.
I think we may have cruised through different parts of Palmdale.
i love you louis cole you are a huge inspiration to my drumming and i hope you are at peace ❤️
The tone of this piano!! 😍
Every time I come here, I instantly feel better. A unique place for daydreams. Thank you so much. Take care Louis !
This whole thing is so soporific and beautiful. like a cosy dream,
I am extremely into the the detuning on this version of Let It Happen. Really channeling that BoC warmth.
Who else is still here in 2037 lmao
Yo mijo I'm straight cap bu$$in to this On GoD, it's gonna be zoppity
I will be 👍
Here in 2043 🎉
This might be my favorite thing you've made. There's a beautiful intimacy to it
This stuff is all so beautiful. RELEASE IT ALL COMPLETED AS AN ALBUM
love you louis
Really really love 'End of the night'. These are all so good! Your style of composition and harmony has always connected a lot with me and been really influential for my music. Thanks for releasing these demos :))
Listening to this collection is like listening to the start of a Pink Floyd albumn or one of their longer song starts like Shine on you crazy diamond.
Louis can put out only masterpieces. Goddamn.
Dude, cant wait to see you at the end of the month, youre an international treasure
Thank you for this gift
Happy to be here.
This sounds like a wonderful peaceful documentary
Listening to this at midnight and it’s a pleasure to be alive at the same time that Louis Cole is making music🤘🏼
Palmdale Cruisin' 😍😍😍
Anyone else getting an sufjen stevens vibe here? So unexpected but stoked that you decided to realise this Louis🙂
"Hawaii" rules, Cole! Shoulda been on the album! Thanks for the music my dude.
In a way it already is! Check out the ending part to Message. It's the same chord progression. I love both. Hawaii has more of a "dreamy" vibe though. Love that synth patch
oh shit. 2:22 goosebumps all over my body.
Love that you share the throwaways. What a guy❤
Exactly what I need, exactly when I needed it. Thanks Louis.
Beautiful music! Thanks a lot!
thank u for blessing us with this art 🙏
the fact he didnt use some of these is crazy. i love this man
Absolute Beauty
Please put these on a cd
It is so great, simple and graсeful at the same time! Thanks so much for sharing this!!
I love the intimate vibes!! Really special ❤🔥
03 giving HEAVY jon hopkins "abandon window" vibes. Terrific work.
thank you sir. Thank you very much.
Your music makes my life better.
ambient bliss, thank you
What a legend... giving the people what they want
Summer isn't over yet, but this track seems like a perfect fit for the end. "End of the Night"
Yeah, the last project was indeed a bit long, and a bit all over the place. I liked it more because of it but letting these songs out seems like the sensible decision.

Love this.
ahh thanks Mr Screamer. best wishes
apologies Screamer i have assumed you are male, which is presumptuous.
@@BusyLizzy575 no stress Brother. One Love.
Someone needs to stop LC before he takes over the world. One man shouldn't be this productive.
Everyone knows LC is an AI, this is why is so productive!
Thank you!!!!
Wow this is such a vibe!! I love it❤
Oh ok thank you Louis
youtube says I'm not allow say bad words about how good this is
Disappear Again
a whole album of b sides and demos?! thank you!
They're used now. Am coming to really like Cole.
Cucumbers is absolutely gorgeous, brother. Whew... I wish it went on for at least 11 minutes. This shit is like if Jacob Collier had any taste.
Now I need that little bit that was in the live version of "park you car on my face" which was between the segments.
Foh❤! 1:52 beautiful! I love the ethereal STUFF. So impactful.
Your music, Knower, and ClownC0re live on my Playlist in the first spots. I love your music so much. You and another composer, Pogo, just get me. Amazing.
Psssssss, nobody knows about ClownCore... it's a well kept secret we don't tell anybody....
@@WromWrom At this point, it's just not true, but hey, you should be glad all these amazing artists finally get some well deserved recognition, even if you've known about Louis and Sam from the very first toilet cubicle
Last one was so nice :]
Slow October nearly makes me fuckin cry. Its so good.
Palmdale Cruisin is awesome. Like that one.
These "B" sides are straight fire tho...
Drumless guide tracks. Awesome!
thank you for the beauty
I like the funky stuff more, but this is nice as well. Some chill vibes.

The old version of let it happen👌aaaaaaa
😭💖✨ i just need a couple sections of this to repeat over and over please, thanks 🙆🏾♀️

Love this! Any plans to tour Australia?
