Left-field pop dynamo Louis Cole has been kicking around the Los Angeles music scene since about the mid-2000s. A singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist especially proficient on drums, Cole attracted an online following with humorous and energetic YouTube uploads, and similarly high-spirited solo and duo recordings with Genevieve Artadi (as Knower). During the latter half of the 2010s, the ground Cole covered was vast to a mystifying extent, including work with Seal and Thundercat, and his and Artadi's "Wait, what?" contribution to the soundtrack for The Lego Ninjago Movie, heard in theaters by floor sweepers and credits viewers. Along the way, Cole picked up admirers including Quincy Jones, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Flying Lotus, the last of whom approached him to add to the Brainfeeder label catalog. Cole answered with Time, his most refined batch of animated pop yet. He triangulates somewhere between Ben Folds and Charlie Puth, albeit with eccentricity to spare and a better feel for the funk than either musician. Another obvious point of reference is labelmate Thundercat, whose Drunk highlights "Bus in These Streets" and "Jameel's Space Ride" were written with Cole. The two artists share a knack for combining ebullient hooks with irreverent humor regarding everyday pitfalls, and even have similarly sweet voices; when Thundercat takes the lead on "Tunnels in the Air," the change is perceptible only to the attentive. A handful of hyperactive and robust numbers are placed throughout, instrumentally worthy of onomatopoeic, fusion-style titles like "Skippedy Blip" and "Bloop de Bloop." "Weird Part of the Night" raves about "between three and six, when no one can fuck your shit." "Real Life" careens along as Cole rattles off real and surreal reasons to be anxious, leaving just enough space for pianist Brad Mehldau to thread a solo. Cole can deliver elegant, heartfelt material with an equal level of skill, as on "Everytime," which might as well be a demo intended for a sad Disney theme sung by Brian McKnight. The seed for "After the Load Is Blown" could have been an impish play on the chorus of Earth, Wind & Fire's "After the Love Has Gone," only Cole offers his own twist on elegant sorrow, exemplifying his sneaky way with stirring emotions. ~ Andy Kellman

商品の紹介

クインシー・ジョーンズが賛辞を送り、レッド・ホット・チリ・ペッパーズは自らのワールド・ツアーの前座に指名、超絶ドラム・プレイヤーでありながら、サンダーキャット大ヒット作『ドランク』にも曲を提供するLA屈指の異能ルイス・コールが待望のニュー・アルバムを設立10周年を迎えた<Brainfeeder>よりリリース!!
ビーチボーイズやマイケル・ジャクソンを彷彿とさせる高いソングライティング能力にスウィートなファルセット・ヴォイス、そして強烈なファンクネスが同居する本作は、シュールなMVとリズミックなタンギングが強烈なエレクトロ・ファンク「Weird Part of The Night」で幕開け。自身のユニットであるノウワーの相方ジェネヴィーヴ・アルターディを迎え、70年代後半のEW&Fに西海岸Gファンクを掛け合わせたような先行シングル「When You're Ugly」、往年のファンには堪らない「Everytime」や「Phone」、「Things」といった曲ではより深化した形でビーチ・ボーイズの影響が消化され、まるでプリンスが憑依したかのような名バラード「After The Load is Blown」まで披露。
ゲストには盟友サンダーキャット、現在のジャズ・ピアノ界のトップに君臨していると言っても過言ではない鬼才ブラッド・メルドー、そしてルイスを<Brainfeeder>へと引き合わせたデニス・ハムらが参加。ポップ・ミュージック史上にその名前が刻まれるべきマエストロ=ルイス・コールのその類稀なる才能が炸裂した決定盤!!

Pitchfork (Website) - "Drummer Louis Cole's sidelong blend of hard funk and soft pop -- aided by guest spots from Thundercat and Brad Mehldau -- remains delightfully sly and off-kilter."

クインシー・ジョーンズが賛辞を贈るノウワーでの活動や、サンダーキャット作品へのプロデュース参加など、活躍が目覚ましいLAのマルチ・アーティスト、ルイス・コールがブレインフィーダーに移籍して放ったソロ新作。自身のスウィートなファルセットを駆使したエレクトロ・ファンク"Weird Part Of The Night"からブラッド・メルドーを迎えた"Real Life"に至るまで粋なポップセンスが炸裂。

ビートミュージックの新世代ヒーロー登場‼︎
クセになる、この変態ポップは一体何なんだ⁉︎
MVもとてもユニーク。ライブではほぼ一人で演奏している曲もありその才能に驚かされた。

Thundercatやkneebodyらとも親交も深く、またGenevieve ArtadiとのユニットKNOWERでの活動も有名なドラマー・マルチプレイヤー、ルイス・コール。初めに聴く一枚として申し分のないレパートリーかと思います。上述のアーティスト経由で知った方にもオススメしたい。エグみの聴いたサウンド/リリックを包む極上のシンセ・サウンド/ヴォーカル。

タワレコメンになっていたので試聴してみたら、すごくいい感じでした。エレクトロ・ファンクの「Weird Part Of The Night」が最高ですね。すっかりはまってしまいました。「Things」も気に入ってます。
