Louis Cole is a singer-songwriter and sickeningly talented multi-instrumentalist with a strong DIY aesthetic from Los Angeles, California. He is on a mission to create deep feelings through music and is the figurehead of an LA jazz-adjacent scene that includes Genevieve Artadi (with whom Cole co-founded the alt pop / electrofunk band KNOWER in 2009), Sam Gendel, Sam Wilkes, Jacob Mann, Dennis Hamm, Pedro Martins and more. He will release his new album Quality Over Opinion

20 tracks deep, it was written, performed and produced on his own in his modest home studio, but Louis did invite a handful of close friends to contribute, namely Genevieve Artadi (my no.1 music collaborator); saxophonist Sam Gendel Coles friend for 17 years; pianist Chris Fishman; Nate Wood from the band Kneebody; Marlon Mackey (a pillar of the Bakersfield music scene); and guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel. This album is a representation of me trying to make the best, most powerful and listenable music I can. For myself and also others, he says.
