    I saw this video when it was new years ago. Blew my mind. Saw Bent Knee live last night in Cambridge for the first time in over a decade. Had never been able to remember the name of this song or find the video somehow. They played it second last night. Lost my mind the second the drums started. Thank you universe.

    The subtle differences between the recorded songs and live songs are very interesting. The band is so damn good that I get attached to specific lines and when they differ slightly in the live versions, it changes me a little on the inside haha. Great stuff

      Agreed. If they went more the Mr Bungle route like they did on this song they'd be the best band currently out there.

    Great meeting and seeing you guys perform on Sunday in D.C. Now I have my cool Bent Knee t-shirt to remind me of that special evening for decades to come. I can envision the conversations years from now in the retirement home when I wear it. "Oh?? You were a Bent Knee fan??" "Hell yeah!" I'll proclaim, proudly puffing out my aging chest to display the band's name in futuristic block letters! If you make it to Germany in the future, let me know! Cheers!

    My love for this band keeps getting consistently bigger and bigger! I just hope that you don't get to stuck in one sound like so many bands get in, somehow I don't think you would though. The whole band has many different reputations, Ben certainly has some cool things to bring to it, Jessica too. Remember Justice Cow? haha

    I was not into this area of prog. They played at Rosfest and I told a friend I'd "give them a chance".I listened..I didn't get it...but there was something there. I tried focussing on different things and it just didn't make sense. I was working as hard as they were for 40 minutes trying to figure out what the hell they were doing.......
    Remember those 3-D images that looked l8ke repetitive static but if you stared at it l9ng enough a 3-D image would come into focus? That happened aurally to me with Bent Knee. Suddenly, EVERYTHING about what they were doing made sense. Seriously the weirdest and most intense experience I've had in my life.
    Now I l8sten to music way more out there than Bent Knee, but they were the gateway.
    Fucking amazing band.
