1:48 Ben gives the most "I'm trying to be polite but wtf" expression ever.

Just started listening to Bent Knee and every song has given me goosebumps so far. I love the technicality, the mysteriousness, and of course her heavenly voice.

Me to boy

Brillliant. just effing brilliant. Vid and music. Both. Love this song.

WOW this was incredible. I would have gotten around to it sooner but I was listening to Holy Ghost over and over.

The more I listen to this song the more I think of originality and just how damn good this singer is. She’s up there with every female vocalist in rock music.

I´m crying

Well, you guys constantly take my breath away. It's every time overwhelming to see your insane amount of musical and intelectual creativity. And once again I am almost about to quit making music and to sell my whole rig (althoug I reject the idea within a few hours), because I fail to meet my musical requirement constantly without input from others. Unfortunately, there are as good as no musicians around here who are intersted in going any other musical ways than those of "generic radio rock" or death and black metal etc., so I have to try express my very own musical and artistic thoughts until maybe one day there's the opportunity to create something with open minded musicians :). You together with Devin Townsend, Steven Wilson and many other bands and musiciany are one of my biggest inspirations and it's shockingly stunning to discover your music. Thank you for that! :)

Hope you fiund your creative feedback way back. But if you'd be interested I could guide you to a free Discord based composition jam where everyone presents their compositons on a theme and give good feedback to each other (not a creator myself but I'm active in other stuff on the channel) There's also the possibility to post and get feedback on any composition. Cheers!

Holy crap this is good. Finally something original in music land.

Stumbled on this track on Spotify and it blew me away. Wonderful vocals

just found you guys, yall are amazing.

Bryant McNamara Yeah, it's so clever that the quick main beats that were previously used as the 3 of the 2:3 turn into the 5 of the 4:5 so they keep the same 2-based subdivision grid (or technically 4-based subdivision to pull off the 4:5), but the drums heavily emphasize the 4 of the 4:5 with the kick & backbeat that sort of make you feel it as 5:4 in a slower tempo. Meanwhile the songwriting/thematic development skills are off the charts. Can't wait for more.

Love this band. So original with a singer as dynamic as Jeff Buckley.

This song and District 97s Snow Country are my favourite songs of the last. 10 years. Outstanding talent. Courtney sings like Jeff Buckley.

I can't pay atention to the song with this great vídeo on my screen. This woman and the guy on the Land Animal video are amazing actors

Ben Levin same to you! Can't wait for the Chicago concert! Just bought my tickets.

Familiarizing myself with this band before the upcoming show with Haken. Pretty damn cool and trippy stuff. I’m getting to like more and more.

Well done. Love it when bands reject all limits creatively speaking.

the most unique sounding band... thanks for the inspiration! ^.^

Wonderful!

INCREDIBLE

got this recommended on my spotify and i absolutely love it

Great work as usual ! So refreshing ! Three songs, three hits, I can't wait to listen to the whole new album.

Bent Knee never fails to blow me out of the (black tar) water! Intricate visuals that always tell a story, enchantingly music that constantly evolves; never seen anything quite like them! Keep it up guys!

i committed the terrible mistake of listening to this while having a panic attack, now i can´t help but feel a little panicked every time i hear it

Another fabulous track - Complex but straight forward. Cool video as well. You guys just keep delivering. We are so lucky!

bah! This is beautiful, unnerving, powerful, intense! I don't have a large enough lexicon to find the right words but damn you guys kick ass, I usually don't bother with the videos but I can't seem to take my eyes off yours. Thanks for the music, eagerly awaiting the release.

Whoa. 3:40...chills.

Great, great video! I kept waiting for Ben to get knifed. He's so clean shorn in this one. Great song. I can't wait for the new album!!! Seriously kept waiting for this video to get super violent. Nice work.

I really have grown to love you guys, heard you for the first time on the radio a few weeks ago, playing land animal and it blew my mind. One thing that really caught my intrigue is how homely you are as a band just through the conversations in the comments sections of your videos, and through some interviews i've seen. But for the life of me I'm baffled by the lyrics of this song, particularly about tiny bodies piling up. although i love the speculation... i need some help figuring this one out, its been on my mind for a few weeks now!

@tomwendol3727

I was going to say, what convinced you so thoroughly that the terror bird was, in fact, a prehistoric creature and why not say, a crow? Surely a crow is capable of piling up "tiny bodies" however at 1:38 it does sound a lot like pterodactyl... so i like where you're going with that. The rest of the video however, is very interesting showing this woman unable to communicate in an socially acceptable manner. and seems to be hosting the party which she is not included in yet she still finds comfort in hosting it

feels like this video describes the isolation of (develop)mental disability so well

Amazing.

If you like Bent Knee check out Moetar. Similar off kilter rhythms with a fantastic female vocalist.

Very good actress!

Levin scrubs up nicely

Original and personal music ! Soon in France ?

oh to place a green bean on blevin's hand

Nobody's gonna talk about how Caitlin snapped a _plate_ in half?

Jeff Buckley vibes

Is this song named after the TagPro player TERROR BIRD? I'm assuming yes (bc I want that to be true).

Caitlin's mouth is removed for a split second, purpose? It doesn't seem to gel lyrically at that point so what's the significance?

My interpretation is that she's consistently questioning what she should or shouldn't say, how she should behave and feel etc.

Does Ben Levin write the songs or do they work together
