KNOWER

At their core, KNOWER are the duo Genevieve Artadi (vocals) and Louis Cole (drums, vocals, electronics) from Los Angeles. For their intricate and complex songs as well as for their various projects, the two often collaborate with different musicians from different stylistic backgrounds – depending on what and/or who their highly pitched avant-garde jazz funk needs. Based on a “do it yourself” approach with a certain amount of low-fi flair, they develop a wild and urban grooving sound cosmos of analogue-digital-electronic components that simply leaves you in awe of the drum patterns drummed as if in a frenzy of speed, the ethereal-lucid timbre of the voice and an aesthetically dense accessory from the digital kit. Over in the USA, KNOWER is a really hip act who has toured with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Thundercat. Cole’s solo album “Qualitiy Over Opinion” was nominated for a Grammy for “Best Alternative Jazz Album” in 2024. Live, the Knower duo often becomes a real band with bass, additional keyboards and guitar.
