David Cole

Louis Cole Taps Sam Wilkes, David Binney, & Genevieve Artadi for Single 'Life'

Beginning with a Bernard Herrmann-like string fakeout, “Life” initially lands as a cinematic symphonic number. Cole’s voice, his drum set, and Sam Wilkes’s bass all join in at breakneck speed, the high velocity something for Cole and longtime creative partner Genevieve Artadi to flit over.
