I saw a known face, i was wondering if he was the guy i've seen drumming some crazy beats like one decade ago. I was correct! Great to see he didn't disappear!
To be fair as a guitarist, I can say the same about the guitar solo, and a bassist would say the same for Wilkes. This band is just phenomenal. All of them.
It reminds me of the guitar solo in Rush's Freewill, where the drums and bass are as sick as the guitar solo, only jazz version instead of prog rock. You have to listen to it multiple times and pick out each instrument.
@@colbyboucher6391I remember first hearing "restless" and being blown away... only to find out I wasn't really into anything after that album. I also wish I knew what happened
@@Marionettetc Well, Einar did a solo album recently and I think it's a lot better than Aephelion, it seems like he's been stuck between wanting to do something different and expectations with Leprous for a while now

To play incredible music is one thing, but to do so WHILE also sitting behind & complimenting a solo without stealing the attention of the listener, is something entirely else.
I haven't played a bass guitar in almost 20 years. The more I listen to KNOWER and their cohorts, the more I want to play again. You guys are insanely talented musicians.
Those drum fills are completely insane. Super tight syncopated segue part by the whole band. So good. Excellent work. (“Do barnacles get bored?” might be the greatest lyric ever written. I’ll have to check with my people and get back to you.)
I had literally never heard of this band before this video showed up in my recommended, and I'm so glad it did. Excellent job. Bass guy looks like he's having fun lol
Ratner is like that guy in the kung fu movie who sits quietly in the background and late into the movie finishes his noodles and stands up and kicks everyone’s ass!
YO, THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. That solid feeling of a mix between Clown Core and Knower, and yet evolving further. Such a gorgeous track. Thank you. Edit: Listening to the album now on Spotify - THIS IS QUALITY. I LOVE YOU GUYS.
If this was just the licks and solos, it'd be like a section from a straight down the middle Dream Theater song, but then we get insane synth tones, gorgeous extended chords, haunting vocals, and Louis' incredibly unique drumming style. KNOWER just constantly makes musical choices that feel surprising, exciting, and catchy, all at once, which I find is rare among prog music.
Me: *Start to think I'm getting good in music. Louis: *Drops a new song. Me: *Gets humbled in 0.1 seconds. These guys are constantly breaking the music boundaries, and show these skills as if it were the most easiest thing to do. God-like. Thank you!
Same, lol. Damnit, and here I thought I was going places. How can I continue when something like this exists? Haha, just kidding, of course I'll keep making music for my twelve fans. 🤓🤣
Word! I have shared your experience more than once. It had been a while for me. I was stale but acclimated. BAM! Nothing compares to being prepared for your first exposure to Knower. One of the best experiences of my entire life was hearing "Hanging On" for the first time.
There is no such thing as you being good in music then being humbled by what is perceived as “better”. That isn't how music works my friend. Keep making music that makes you feel good, because that is all that matters. The goal isn't to be the best.
@@theman-t7fwhat? Your point is unclear and I believe I disagree. Self discipline, study and practice are worthwhile activities that bring musicians to another level. Music is a form of literacy, in spite of folkloric beliefs. Progress in any pursuit brings earned satisfaction. Humility is part of growth and should be embraced. Nothing feels better than a new skill,a new chord, a new song. My goal isn't to be the best but pointing in that direction makes me feel good. The best things both feel good are are good. Heroin feels good, commentating ignorantly from the peanut gallery feels good . . .
It's because every single musician here is like, technically very highly trained, through lots of instruction at the BA and MA level. They all have the chops and are absolutely sick, they aren't just hot rod self taught players- which are great, don't get me wrong. But there is a level of technical competence that comes from playing in organized musical college and these dudes have it. I think many have done session work. Like Paul Cornish was a prodigy on Piano, attended a prestigious music high school, and then got a full scholarship to the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz at UCLA. Louis Cole is a graduate level Jazz Drummer. Artadi also has a BA in Jazz Voice I think, Sam Wilkes was active in music across hip hop, indie rock, and Jazz from the age of 15 and went to college for music in LA (I think USC but I am not sure.). I think a lot of them met while at school in LA for music. Compared to most people making any form of pop music, they are titans in terms of technical skill.
I CAN NOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG!!! This is absolutely baller! My favorite track on an album full of favorite tracks. I'm glad the video is out so I can shout it to the world. Strong contender for my song of the year!!
Yea I mean this song changed my stupid boring rainy dark day to a something where this song is blasting away and making me cry over the reprise's awesomeness
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this song appears to be Genevieve's answer to "I'm Tight" in which Louis tells us the thoughts that come to him. And Genevieve is wearing the HAT hat from the "I'm Tight" video! Seriously, check out the lyrics in each song.
The climax @2:49 is just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, Wilkes going thumping with Cole's beat just makes my heart go boom!
Tomas Haake is about the only drummer doing anything in metal that is as interesting to me as Louis’ drumming. Tons of amazing metal drummers but there’s just something about Haake that’s creative in an unfathomable way. Blake Richardson is my favourite metal drummer, but I’ll even admit he’s no Tomas Haake.
that guitar solo--the guitar, the bass, the drums, the smile of the keyboardist, the short and sweetness of it transitioning perfectly back into the chorus--brings tears to my eyes.
I literally CAN'T STOP LISTENING to this album since it's out ! Wow ! I have no words and thank you I really needed that I love you guys KNOWER FOREVER ♥️♥️♥️
Over a decade of Knower being phenomenal. Some groups that have been around longer are up and down when it comes to their music, with some stuff being alright and others not so alright. Knower has been consistent, that's pretty rare. Even more rare when the artists don't have the funding of a major label and years of airtime on the radio.
Did I already comment on this, I don't remember. But I'd just like to say that as an ardent guitar-solo-disrespecter, Adam Ratner's solo on this tune is fucking SUBLIME.
The lyrics are great in this. I am also sinking into my own deep sea of thoughts when most people converse with me. Or when I'm alone. It's better there.
Supreme composition and performance. Special kudos to and blown away by Ratner’s solo: LC: “Adam, need you take 16 bars after the bridge and KILL it with a swirling solo over top of a complex bed of harmonies and rhythms, cool?” AR: “Yeah, I got it. Let’s do this” Recall that Adam was relegated to (literally) playing in the bathroom in Cole’s Thinking (Live Sesh) [circa 2019] composition and video largely in a rhythmic support role. This video is evidence of what happens when you get Adam out of the bathroom 😎 and showcase a monster with brilliant soloing capability. Bravo!
Yes. This Knower album is simply phenomenal. Interesting to watch everybody’s reaction to the guitar solo. They seem a little surprised by how awesome it is! And killer main riff that drives the song
I just love how much the guitarist is just chilling in the riffs until he fucking EXPLODES OUT THE GATE WITH PERFECT 16th note triplets the second his solo starts
@@jackmermigas9465 The content of the lyrics themselves are pretty much an anthem to ADHD in a sense lol. Verses are completely out of left field thoughts, and then the chorus says "that's what I'm thinking when you're talking" Funny I never noticed this until I read these comments because my brain tunes out on lyrical meaning because I'm usually too lost in the music
@@meller7303the lyrics to me seem about the story teller being tired and bored with the person they're involved with and has checked out on the relationship completely. Not even remotely interested in any conversation about anything with them. Relationships are a common theme in her writing. But songs are an open interpretation to the listener.
I love that we're getting videos for the other tracks too now. Ive been listening since it got released on bandcamp and was always trying to imagine what each performance looked like
Me too! Knower forever is such an excellent record, all the tunes are great and it’s a treat to see tunes that we’ve already listened to over and over and over again as originally played.
there is *loads* of great music being made Right Now. The music mainstream is never going to give us what we want on a plate, as long as they are chasing hits. Screw them, and follow the artists you like directly. It is a golden age for music, for anyone who is ready to go looking.
Pop music was always mediocre at best, and always will be. It's not intended for people who have an interest in music. Occasionally something interesting breaks through and ends up being popular. When that happens a small number of pop listeners will get turned on to what music can be and it will change their lives forever. Watching that happen is a beautiful thing.
@@Pushing_Pixels There is nothing mediocre about George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter, Burt Bacharach or Antonio Carlos Jobim (and of course there are other brilliant musicians and songwriters working in the pop idiom) ... but otherwise I agree
This is one of the ILLEST tunes I've ever heard! 🔥🔥🔥I can't stop listening to it! Louis, Genevieve, and the gang put some serious STANK on it! It STINKS to high heaven! 😄😄😄It gets ya headbangin' and shakin' yo' bootay at the same time! 😄😄😄
Yes Genevieve- Knower is popular. Just looking at the vinyl pressing goals, and how they were exceeded by like 2000% (it was more) and the conversations that have started because I was wearing my Knower T Shirt, there has been a threshold crossed. This song is awesome. Can't wait until my record arrives, and I am so glad you guys got to actually make money off the album this time before the streaming release. This song is beautiful, and this record is packed with amazing music and really feels like a legitimate, all time masterpiece.
When I first listened to this song and the guitar solo kicked in I was like, damn I knew Louis Cole had some contacts but I have no idea he got Allan Holdsworth to shred from beyond the grave. Awesome job Adam 🚒👩🚒
Here I am thinking never will there be a better live song than OVERTIME, or TIME TRAVELLER, but here we are. It's hard to choose which one is the best thing ever to happen ever so I'll just cycle through them while I figure it out. You guys are so cool, once in a generation brilliance. In a world of manufactured crap you're a shining light of awesomeness. It's cliche but your music brings be great joy, and I'm a miserable old fart.
This is staged (using album track). But "Overtime" is definitely NOT the album version. Louis Cole is a freaking genius. Genevieve's voice is something special, I agree.
I've had this on loop since I found it. Every listen brings a new new discovery and furthers my love for this band and Louis and Genevieve's will to keep dropping hot shit.
always blown away by the amount of skill everyone in this group has developed over the years, but that they also just know how to make beautiful music and it's not just showing off
For real, Louis Cole has perfected the art of like...virtuostic musical comedy. So many moments in this album and multiple even on this song make laugh out loud (like when Genevieve asks if hot girls like chords then that fat chord gets overdubbed and crescendos until they all hit that super clean release together). It's all so unserious and yet so serious at the same time.
i have been waiting 4 months to play this non stop at my shitty café!!!! Finally i can make work bearable thanks for an album of absolute bangers, y’all ❤
People keep trying to qualify this. There is no reason. It is creativity and audibly orgasmic sound! It is the ridiculous, sublime, beautiful, nonsensical, rich, emotional, silly, deep, moving, and great musical rhythm packed in one piece lasting three minutes and 34 seconds. It leaves one thinking it should be longer, but good things never last and it is perhaps best that way. Lofi pop, prog rock, jazz rock, fusion, whatever be damned. It is just, purely, A DAMN GOOD SONG made by people enjoying life in a brief moment in time in an otherwise gloomy and evil world. This is yet again another PROOF of God's eternal love and beauty despite everything wrong in the world.
People always bring up Sam Wilkes' enthusiasm, but you can tell Jacob Mann is enjoying the hell out of himself on all of these songs as well. He's not as animated, but dude is having a blast.
Already listened to it death on Bandcamp, but making it available on streaming does make it easier to share! Favorite record of the year so far, and probably the best KNOWER album.

I just love how much the guitarist is just chilling in the riffs until he fucking EXPLODES OUT THE GATE WITH PERFECT 16th note triplets the second his solo starts
@@Serakez High quality comment here. The album is "bundles" peeps, listen to the first track and you'll know what he's talking about.
chorus takes me to the moon every time
This song, lyrically and musically is the ultimate ADHDers anthem. It's gonna take a long while for that chorus to get out of my head, I love it. ❤
What do you mean by this? I recently discovered I have it also and this music lights my soul on fire!
@@jackmermigas9465 The content of the lyrics themselves are pretty much an anthem to ADHD in a sense lol. Verses are completely out of left field thoughts, and then the chorus says "that's what I'm thinking when you're talking"
Funny I never noticed this until I read these comments because my brain tunes out on lyrical meaning because I'm usually too lost in the music
@@meller7303the lyrics to me seem about the story teller being tired and bored with the person they're involved with and has checked out on the relationship completely. Not even remotely interested in any conversation about anything with them.
Relationships are a common theme in her writing. But songs are an open interpretation to the listener.
Bruv for real tho, I'm ADHD and this shit is just on repeat in my head, lyrics notwithstanding. Someone send help, it never stops lmao
Every memeber in the band in this video looks like they're somewere in the autism spectrum.
I WANT MORE ADAM RATNER EPIC SOLOS
Ever since I heard this song when I disassociate I hear it in my head and that is a large portion of my life. 10/10.
Yet another masterpiece by these phenomenal musicians.
I love that we're getting videos for the other tracks too now.
Ive been listening since it got released on bandcamp and was always trying to imagine what each performance looked like
Me too. I can’t wait to see the Nightmare session
Me too! Knower forever is such an excellent record, all the tunes are great and it’s a treat to see tunes that we’ve already listened to over and over and over again as originally played.
@@displaychicken I'm geeked to see Rai Thistlethwayte vs Chiquita Magic keyboard battle in It Will Get Real
@@Rbrgr83oh yeah that’s an awesome moment as well! So many great things on this album
Adam Ratner's solo just makes my day every time I see it.
I love the style.. no flash blinking lights, only tight spaces, only EXTREMELY GOOD MUSIC... I'm in awe!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Clowncore without masks and auditive jump scares? I like it as well. Drummer's insane, I love every beat.
Was gonna say, heavy clown vibes from this one lol
@@ectobluntusi mean its LITERALLY clown core louis cole is the drummer for cc
Check out "it's nothing until it's everything" from the album; very Clowncore's Hell. Almost the exact same bass patch as well, haha @@ectobluntus
@@jwlsiee That's just a urban legend. PROVE IT!!!
@@jwlsiee Nah, the drummer from Clown Core is a clown, and Louis Cole is clearly not a clown. These rumors are unfounded.
I wish pop music sounded like this. We need a musical revolution.
This is the revolution 😂🎉😮
I'd prefer they stay on the niche side, I like being able to get cheap tickets to see them in small venues lol
there is *loads* of great music being made Right Now.
The music mainstream is never going to give us what we want on a plate, as long as they are chasing hits.
Screw them, and follow the artists you like directly. It is a golden age for music, for anyone who is ready to go looking.
Pop music was always mediocre at best, and always will be. It's not intended for people who have an interest in music. Occasionally something interesting breaks through and ends up being popular. When that happens a small number of pop listeners will get turned on to what music can be and it will change their lives forever. Watching that happen is a beautiful thing.
@@Pushing_Pixels There is nothing mediocre about George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter, Burt Bacharach or Antonio Carlos Jobim (and of course there are other brilliant musicians and songwriters working in the pop idiom) ... but otherwise I agree
Dude. How is it even possible to release only absolute bangers?!? This is so good.
Outstanding. I’d expect nothing less from KNOWER. 11/10 would listen to again.
This is one of the ILLEST tunes I've ever heard! 🔥🔥🔥I can't stop listening to it! Louis, Genevieve, and the gang put some serious STANK on it! It STINKS to high heaven! 😄😄😄It gets ya headbangin' and shakin' yo' bootay at the same time! 😄😄😄
This song makes me want to shout 'Woooo' after each section, like when a surfer catches a good wave. Superb as always! Thank you!
Yes Genevieve- Knower is popular. Just looking at the vinyl pressing goals, and how they were exceeded by like 2000% (it was more) and the conversations that have started because I was wearing my Knower T Shirt, there has been a threshold crossed. This song is awesome. Can't wait until my record arrives, and I am so glad you guys got to actually make money off the album this time before the streaming release. This song is beautiful, and this record is packed with amazing music and really feels like a legitimate, all time masterpiece.
Wait ... physical album release? AGH... it's a freakin Kickstarter. >< Wwhhhhhyyyyyy.......
@@nickwallette6201 Still easy to order...
When I first listened to this song and the guitar solo kicked in I was like, damn I knew Louis Cole had some contacts but I have no idea he got Allan Holdsworth to shred from beyond the grave. Awesome job Adam 🚒👩🚒
Also - much respect for Paul’s willingness to be a role player when needed.
Here I am thinking never will there be a better live song than OVERTIME, or TIME TRAVELLER, but here we are. It's hard to choose which one is the best thing ever to happen ever so I'll just cycle through them while I figure it out. You guys are so cool, once in a generation brilliance. In a world of manufactured crap you're a shining light of awesomeness. It's cliche but your music brings be great joy, and I'm a miserable old fart.
You're not miserable. Or old. However, you should fart. Above all, you are completely correct.
This is staged (using album track). But "Overtime" is definitely NOT the album version. Louis Cole is a freaking genius. Genevieve's voice is something special, I agree.
@@TheBulbaCzar I'm a little miserable, and a little old. But I become less of both listening to KNOWER. I'll fart forever, even when I'm dead!
i love this bassist guy and hope he get to spread his joy throughout.
Blown away by Paul Cornish’s performance on this one 🙌🙌🙌
Lol, face melting, especially the start.
Needs a lot of initial stretching 😄
I've had this on loop since I found it. Every listen brings a new new discovery and furthers my love for this band and Louis and Genevieve's will to keep dropping hot shit.
always blown away by the amount of skill everyone in this group has developed over the years, but that they also just know how to make beautiful music and it's not just showing off
I literally burst out laughing when Adam started that guitar solo at 2:30 - unbelievable!
Listening to these guys is akin to watching a magic trick.
same lol
it amazes me that knower songs give a vibe where coming in on an absurdly ripping solo is funny first and cool as hell second
For real, Louis Cole has perfected the art of like...virtuostic musical comedy. So many moments in this album and multiple even on this song make laugh out loud (like when Genevieve asks if hot girls like chords then that fat chord gets overdubbed and crescendos until they all hit that super clean release together). It's all so unserious and yet so serious at the same time.
it's tasty
After being trapped underground in the grip of the tightest funk, the solo catapults you into the sky to fly free as a bird
And as I listen and extol every virtue - the composition is incredible. The way the guitar and bass riffs cover the changes is amazing.
That f*ckin guitar solo. Good lord.
i have been waiting 4 months to play this non stop at my shitty café!!!! Finally i can make work bearable
thanks for an album of absolute bangers, y’all ❤
Hell yea, this chorus is astounding, that's the modal interchange magic right there
The next level of music. KNOWER. Fingering the pulse of the zeitgeist.
Need to say it again. Louis’s drumming on this is sick.
Another beautiful masterpiece of a song. I love it! Genevieve’s voice is angelic, I love how her voice melds with the instruments and soars. ❤️
People keep trying to qualify this. There is no reason. It is creativity and audibly orgasmic sound! It is the ridiculous, sublime, beautiful, nonsensical, rich, emotional, silly, deep, moving, and great musical rhythm packed in one piece lasting three minutes and 34 seconds. It leaves one thinking it should be longer, but good things never last and it is perhaps best that way. Lofi pop, prog rock, jazz rock, fusion, whatever be damned. It is just, purely, A DAMN GOOD SONG made by people enjoying life in a brief moment in time in an otherwise gloomy and evil world. This is yet again another PROOF of God's eternal love and beauty despite everything wrong in the world.
PS I love that keyboard sustain hanging in the song
Absolutely fucking amazing! Louis killing it, Sam is an absolute monster, and that guitar solo...!
How is each song they release always the best one?? Surely this cannot continue forever! But it just keeps happening!
They're like a post ironic Steely Dan with how they cycle musicians. 10/10.
It's very rare that I become completely addicted to an album, but this one done did it!
I constantly find myself quietly singing "I'm The President" to myself.
@@alden1132well it is the best groove you ever heard
Doesn't matter where or when - Sam's bass playing is always a show in and of itself.
In my head that's how good I am at bass
Genuine feckin goosebumps when the chorus hits
Give it a rest, simp.
People always bring up Sam Wilkes' enthusiasm, but you can tell Jacob Mann is enjoying the hell out of himself on all of these songs as well. He's not as animated, but dude is having a blast.
Already listened to it death on Bandcamp, but making it available on streaming does make it easier to share! Favorite record of the year so far, and probably the best KNOWER album.
what a beautiful fusion of genres. i was sleeping on these artist now i cant stop listening to all their songs. Genevieve voice so hypnotic
Coolest thing going right now...and I'm over 60.Geneve! Love this stuff!
Louis's timing is unreal. He never misses a beat!
