It's amazing that any band could do a live recording of their current album from start to finish. Bent Knee completely nailed it. No crowd was there to cheer them on, but this is authentic and emotional. I love that even with all their talent they don't play so perfectly that it seems stale. Love the look on Courtney's face when Ben starts Time Deer a bit faster than expected. :-) They don't play to a click, and I love that.
Between the Buried and Me has done multiple tours playing multiple albums from front to back. They also have a live recording similar to this set up for The Parallax II. Amazing prog-metal band if you haven't heard them.
Bent Knee are one of the most original and innovative bands around at the moment. Land Animal is the best album i've heard in a long time. Would love the band to tour the UK (and that doesn't just mean a single gig in London).
I saw them last night in Atlanta, Ga. USA, and was quite impressed. They were opening act for Leprous and Haken, so they were introduced to a largely Prog/Metal audience, and they were received well. I was impressed by their musicianship. Ben was the most active one on stage followed by the violin player ( don't know his name ) but Courtney was anchored behind the keyboard and her mic stand.
As a musician that grew up during the Cambrian Explosion of prog/art rock--the 70s--Bent Knee is some of the most refreshing prog I've heard in years. All are very good musicians. Courtney is an astounding singer and a beautiful woman.
That band is a real gem. I just can't believe how amazing they are. Courtney has to be one of the best singer of all genre. She is too damn good and fits so perfectly with the others. These Hands has to be the most amazing song they written.
I'm 60+ & just found this band via a review site. All I can say is WOW & how refreshing compared to a lot of the sameness within different genres. Love how the write, play and create. Their knees sure are bent.. hope they remain that way!
It makes me really sad this has less then 10k views. Bent knee is such a great band. I saw them in Phoenix and they only played about 25 minutes. I would have loved a 45 minute set. You guys are so great, and I'm so glad I bought shiny eyed babies at the show, battle creek became an instant classic for me.

I recently discovered Bent Knee and I'm completely blown away by this video. Land Animal is by far one of the best albums I've listened to in many years and this live recording makes it even better. Hats off to you folks for putting together some truly original and inspiring music. just.....wow!
Just saw them play with VOLA 3 days ago and was completely blown away by them. They came out all unassuming and just destroyed. Love when bands do that. Absolutely phenomenal.
I came here to see what some of the bands playing Arctangent will be like. It was 3 days ago that I came across Bent Knee and I haven't left since. What a talented group! I cannot wait to see you live! 🤩
I am in love! So many intriguing textures. The harmony is beautiful and is made even sweeter with the tactful rhythmic placement. Heavenly vocal sounds. My ear is always latching on to something and I can’t get bored. The balance between periods of rest and busyness is great also!
Saw these guys with Haken and Leprous. I liked their stuff well enough, but HOLY SHIT this music is insane live. I think it's because the dynamic range is so much larger in person, but the contrast in the lighter, quieter segments and the the parts where they go all-out just isn't something you can get from a pair of headphones.
Honestly in my personal opinion their albums are produced horribly. Everything is way too loud it’s like you can’t hear anything because you can hear too much of everything. But I saw them live and they’re incredible in that setting, just can’t really listen to their albums unfortunately.
@@MrHammett Dynamics is essencially the variance in loudness. Dynamic range is, to be specific, the difference between the point at which they are playing the quietest and the loudest.
I've seen BENT KNEE in Berlin, Columbia Theatre in February 2019. The gig, voice and the intensive stage performance of the female singer and the band is just in my mind. This was an special evening of three bands together with VOLA from Denmark and HAKEN (UK). BK please come back to Germany.
Hey man I've been to the same concert and met Ray from Haken that day. I didn't know Bent Knee before but they DELIVERED. Surreal experience and I'm glad to have gotten some autographs from them
I can not stop listening to this live version of the album, the delivery from all the band is so damn goooooooooooood, even better than the recording. I once saw them live about 5 years ago, before I knew their music, and I remember thinking how great they sounded and how I needed to start listening to them, but forgot until recently. I hope I get to see them again with a newfound appreciation.
Just saw them last Saturday, Dec 1, 2018 in Chicago along with Haken AND Leprous!.......Dang! it was a good night.......except for the mosh pit. BK really impressed me and I've never heard of them.

Aren't there songs missing? like In God we Trust?
Thanks man
@@lightandsound09 This was a full rendition of their Land Animal album. In God we Trust was on an earlier one, Shiny Eyed Babies I think.
Courtney Swain is by leaps and bounds one of the best voices in all of music good god
The melody of these hands is one of the most disquieting while also beautiful melodies I have ever heard.

Well said Steve, too many bands do this.
It is indeed all about preference, every one has the choice to say no thanks not for me... and then move on.

Saw them (in London :p ) on Saturday supporting Haken. They were fabulous.
they are a great band, but you gotta expand your music repertoire bud.

Nothing has made me miss live shoes during this whole Covid period more than watching this.
Yea, gotta love a live shoe 😂
jokes aside, this is so true, imagine how mesmerizing it would be to watch this live
@@gustavoconti3431 I was supposed to see them in Philadelphia before Covid cancelled the show!
Too bad they propably will not come to the Netherlands

Thank u Adam Neely
lul found this through spotify, had no idea adam neely have something to say about them :D
Yup, he sent inadvertently sent me in this direction as well.

Land animals as in their whole album is a masterpiece, every single song was a joy to listen to. These are the bands I live to listen to.

My favorite album of all time from one of my favorite bands of all time.
I wish I could put a thumb up on this video every time I'm listenning at it.
I am in love! So many intriguing textures. The harmony is beautiful and is made even sweeter with the tactful rhythmic placement. Heavenly vocal sounds. My ear is always latching on to something and I can’t get bored. The balance between periods of rest and busyness is great also!
Really diggin their drummer's work.
Here are some truly great musicians. Everything is so smooth and satisfying to watch.
The band I didn't know I was looking for all this time.
Your sound is so original, AND you are each gifted musicians. Your dynamics are STELLAR !
I've said it in about 5 other videos of Bent Knee music, but I'd say it bears repeating: DAMN do they rock.
Holy crap. Never heard of them untill now. I think I'm a fan now.
thak you for this trip in a big big poool of beauty. thank you. all
Awesome and heartfelt performance, the vocals bring me back to My Brightest Diamond. The whole sound is just right... Ben Levin brought me here.
I think I'm in love with the baseguitar player! ☺️
incredible
loved them
Can we get this live version on Spotify please!!!
I need to find a way to give this more upvotes!
One of my favorite bands from recent years. The sheer talent and creativity at every level. Hope I get to see them live soon.
Commented again to give this amazing-ness more upvoted-ness!
Very nice thank you very much. I absolutely love the syncopation brilliant.
I love these guys!
To this day, one of the most incredible live albums ever. Goosebumps every time.
Amazing! Perfect performance and beautifull songs!! I already became a fan!! 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
This band has the spicy elements I personally love.
I truly enjoyed this experience.
Thanks.
Some mad Yes vibes toward the end of The Well
Damn
Love it

@@VioletAOP416 don't know much about that but I think you meant mixed instead of produced
What is dynamic range?
@@MrHammett I did mean mixed yes thanks
@@MrHammett Dynamics is essencially the variance in loudness. Dynamic range is, to be specific, the difference between the point at which they are playing the quietest and the loudest.
i want a million more like this
Discovered these guys opening for Thank You Scientist.... SO GOOD!
This is awesome music!
I love this band so much.
Original... Beautiful.... You trasmit joy and humbleness... The best thing I have heard in since long long long time
I love the bass player. Spot on!

Wow....I bet that was an AMAZING CONCERT!! Lucky you got to attend...a bit jealous ;)

Just started listening to you guys and I'm so damn happy I did. I know shits good when I sit here smiling the whole show. Fantastic work guys

I love everything about this.
Courtney’s voice and demeanor are so in sync. Unreal. Beautiful. Thank you for the gig in NL. Hope to see you back in Europe soon
Fell in love with them.
Ben levin is in da plaaaaaaace
Looking forward to see them in Frankfurt 😊
I am so happy that this band exists!
Mind blown!
amazing fresh music !
So excited to see these guys in concert!!
Just saw them last Saturday, Dec 1, 2018 in Chicago along with Haken AND Leprous!.......Dang! it was a good night.......except for the mosh pit. BK really impressed me and I've never heard of them.
WTF? why was there a mosh pit at show with Haken, Leprous and Bent Knee? it has no place at shows like that or ever.
This is fresh air on my face, you are in the top of the business.
This video is the first time I have heard this band...Holy Sh*t this is amazing!!!
Very nice work, just found out I am seeing them in Vancouver!
Such amazing improvement from the already amazing performances 5 years prior! Great band:)
Это прекрасно!!!
I didn't really have a free 50 minutes but I spent it, so entrancing and playful!
You guys rock here and live in orlando last night!
Damn this band puts out more material in the short time they’ve been together than bands I’ve known for 15+ years. Cant wait to see them with Leprous.
"insides in" absolutely slaps.
Decided to check these guys out because they're opening for Haken and Leprous. Holy shit. I am so going to that show
So amazing! from another world
Awesome album and awesome performance!
If you're watching this now like I am, they are on tour with Thank You Scientist in the US November and December. I'm so stoked
seeing them next friday, beyond excited
great bass tone
tfw ur really sleepy and start falling asleep during Insides In but get startled awake during the bridge hits
dope
My soul came, this is so good holy fuck
THANK GOD FOR THIS BAND.
Book of Knots meets Sugarcubes? Great stuff! Happy to see the younger generation taking music seriously. Keep it up!
Bassist😍
Search "Justice Cow" here on UA-cam for more of her. And be ready.
what a first class performance, ace band
THIS is incredible...
They are playing in my town this Wednesday supporting Haken and I'm definitely going.
Great performance! Can't wait to see you guys with haken and leprous this fall!!!
Lucky lucky, thats an hell of a line up... unfortunately not available in the UK.. #frownyface
Yep, just saw all 3 in Atlanta last night. see my comment to Steve Evans above . My son has been waiting 3 years to see Haken, and now he has.
AHHHH!!! Was so disappointed I had to miss this!
Haken mentioned them a lot on instagram some time ago and I never paid attention, luckily Spotify made me listen to them.
Superb
I LOVE this, there is hope
Just. Wow.
Land Animal is them putting eyeliner on for show. Frosting is all the moments you see where they're leaning into themselves.
Extrêmement bon. À écouter sans modération. Come to Canada.
Holy shit.
so good!
plus a million
YES PRAISE IT.
Fabulously interesting..
