Louis Cole has revealed plans for new album ‘Quality Over Opinion’.
The LA artist is at the spearhead of a community of jazz-adjacent musicians, creating something startlingly new in the process. Working with Brainfeeder, his new album ‘Quality Over Opinion’ lands on October 14th.
An ambitious 20 track project featuring a raft of guests, Louis Cole has built his own nexus, drawing on the talents of close friends and collaborations. As he puts it: “This album is a representation of me trying to make the best, most powerful and listenable music I can. For myself and also others…”
Matching fusion steppers to syrupy electronics, hip-hop production elements and more, Louis Cole’s music is rooted in the expression and individuality of jazz. A further quote: “The root of jazz is pure freedom… no limits… just what you’re thinking right at that moment… a pure blast of limitlessness”.
A hugely intriguing project, the album is led by bolshy new single ‘I’m Tight’ and it’s muscular, maximalist feel – there are echoes of Mahavishnu Orchestra at play, while it’s also extremely succinct, and kinda catchy in a very left-field manner.
A work of real individuality, you can check out ‘I’m Tight’ below.
