Louis Cole shares a collection of unreleased tracks today affectionately titled “Some Unused Songs” via Brainfeeder.

Eleven tracks deep, and including an early demo of the GRAMMY-nominated ‘Let It Happen’ (Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals), “Some Unused Songs” highlights the understated, ethereal end of Cole’s musical spectrum, focusing on hazy, soft focus piano balladry, looped vocal textures and pretty chord progressions. Raw and unpolished, there’s a beguiling charm and beauty in their innocence.

The release follows his 2022 album “Quality Over Opinion” that garnered praise from the likes of Pitchfork (“his best-known songs are maddeningly catchy, relentlessly irreverent, and nearly impossible for ordinary humans to play”), The Guardian (“Stunning musicianship and irreverent lyrics have taken this LA jazz drummer from bedroom to stadium”), Rolling Stone, Stereogum, The Needle Drop, Clash and Libération.
