[/quote] Funnily enough a friend of mine showed me this exact clip last Saturday. I was blown away. It reminds of Vulfpeck and some of their jam videos, but with a modern dance edge to the jazz funk.

AntLockyer Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 I searched for Knower before posting and that thread didn't come up. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Just finished listening to the latest album. They record as an electronic duo and the jazz influence is much less pronounced. The closest camparison I can come up with is LCD Sound System. Still very good though. Edited September 11, 2017 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 When I saw the singer I thought of Little Dragon but these guys are well funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntLockyer Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 I actually dislike everything I've heard from them previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Apparently it's only quite recently that they've started touring with a live band and that's funked things up quite a bit. The album version of 'overtime' is a lot more house/elctro than jazz/funk. (I'm well out of my depth assigning genres to this electronic stuff).

dmccombe7 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Not usuually my kind of music but have to say i thoroughly enjoyed it. Some nice bits of people just having fun doing what they do. Excellent Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project_c Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I recommend listening to a tune called Weird Part of the Night by Louis Cole, it combines everything that's great about Knower. There's jazz, funk, 80's / Prince, 90s techno and straight up pop music influences in there, all squished up and injected full of weirdness and humour. I'm on a phone so I can't post it but it's a tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Can't wait to watch this. Louis Cole was the last gig I went to before they were all cancelled. It was just him and his looper but it was brilliant. The following night was suppose to be the full band in London but it was cancelled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Never heard of these peeps before. Top playing all round and tighter than a gnat's chuff though actually I enjoyed the keys the most 😲. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 It’s like a CTI record from the 70s come to life. I’m a lover of funk and jazz and even some jazz funk but this certainly wasn’t for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbassman Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Yep - there's actually two bass players featured here - Sam Wilkes plays the LA concerts, and a guy called Petter 9000 plays the Amsterdam concert. Petter is obviously a big Wilkes fan, but plays some fairly bonkers bass breaks of his own - try listening to 'Falling in a Cool Way' - and the break at 25.05 for example. 😵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
