Our Take

Bent Knee's latest offering, "Land Animal," is a sonic rollercoaster that takes listeners on a wild ride through a bizarre and beautiful musical landscape. From the haunting vocals of lead singer Courtney Swain to the intricate and experimental instrumentation provided by the band, this album is a true testament to their unique and boundary-pushing sound.

The opening track, "Terror Bird," sets the tone for the album with its brooding atmosphere and Swain's haunting vocals. As the album progresses, tracks like "Holy Ghost" and "Insides In" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and push the boundaries of traditional song structures.

But what sets Bent Knee apart from other experimental bands is their ability to inject a sense of humour and playfulness into their music. Tracks like "Time Deer" and "Belly Side Up" showcase the band's quirky side, with off-kilter rhythms and whimsical lyrics that will have you chuckling along.

Overall, "Land Animal" is a masterclass in experimental rock music. With its captivating vocals, intricate instrumentation, and quirky sense of humour, Bent Knee has delivered an album that is both thought-provoking and wildly entertaining. So buckle up, dear readers, and get ready for a musical journey unlike any other. Bent Knee is here to take you on a wild ride, and trust me, you won't want to get off.
