Bent Knee is a great band that toured with Thank You Scientist. Definitely proggy and polyrhythmic but not as heavy as a lot of the stuff you do. Their guitarist Ben Levin puts out great vids here on KZread as well. For something heavier I highly suggest Their Dogs Were Astronauts. Get Up is a great song of theirs to look at. They also have one called Contortionist thats a more popular song of theirs, but im partial to the former because its deceptively upbeat and pop-ish.

Saw Bent Knee with Leprous and Haken. It was a great night of bands that are quite different, yet worked really well as a total package. Bent Knee has this chaotic energy around them, but in the way an explosion or an accident looks beautiful in slow motion. It’s not as loud or scary when viewed that way, but the end result is the same. They just always seem to be having fun.

Wow love this band. First time hearing them.

The Dear Hunter is astounding and has a very big band influenced sound mixed with prog rock. Their music is best listened to in album sized chunks since songs blend into one another and there is a narrative to the lyrics. For a good starting song, I'd recommend "Is Anybody There?" or "The Pimp and The Priest" or "The Bitter Suite I and II: Meeting Ms. Leading and Through The Dime".

Please do king gizzard and the lizard wizard! They do cool psychedelic/progressive rock among other genres.
