Is this jazz, is this classical, is this… funk? The answer to any of your questions about the brand new album from drummer and producer extraordinaire Louis Cole is.. yes indeed. A glorious blend of all of the elements that make up the Louis Cole experience, nothing sees our hero joining forces with the Metropole Orkest and conductor Jules Buckley, dishing up a double album tour-de-force on Brainfeeder. - Flying Out

Many still see Louis Cole foremost as a drummer. nothing, Cole's fifth album and his third on Brainfeeder – released on 9th August 2024 – is bound to change that impression. Collaborating with the Metropole Orkest and Jules Buckley, he rejected the well-trodden path to orchestral renditions of his greatest hits and instead opted to compose a suite of brand new music for this project – bigger, bolder, and more expansive than ever. Yes, there are nods to his GRAMMY-nominated 2022 album Quality Over Opinion, but 15 of the 17 tracks included here are brand new. This is jazz. This is classical music. It's got that funk. You'll hear synths and loops. You'll hear a band and live drumming. There's a world class orchestra playing. Some pieces are ultra concise, whereas the sprawling ‘Doesn’t Matter’ surpasses the ten minute mark. To Cole, jazz has always been the one place where you can really let go of all expectations – on nothing, he is putting the music where his mouth is.
