Since its inception, Bent Knee has consistently pushed the creative envelope, reflecting an incredibly broad spectrum of influences. The band just wrapped up a universally-acclaimed North American tour that saw it go coast-to-coast, performing to ever-increasing crowds.
Today, the band debuts its video for "Good Girl." It's a beautiful, cinematic work of art that asks difficult questions about gender, femininity and stereotypes. "Good Girl" is the final track on Bent Knee's new album Say So; the band's third studio album, and its first release from Cuneiform Records. The video is
live NOW
The "Good Girl" video is a piece of visual poetry that seamlessly combines dance and innovative multimedia. The flowing, melancholic work is the result of a collaboration between lead singer Courtney Swain and her mother Yoshiko. It reveals a generational, expansive female perspective viewers won't be able to take their eyes off.
The band has performed hundreds of shows across North America and Japan, and they are about to embark on their first European tour this summer. Crowds worldwide have been spellbound by Bent Knee's live show and consider them one of the most exhilarating live acts they've ever seen.
The universal positive audience reaction is unsurprising, given the diverse elements
Bent Knee represents. Swain's riveting vocals lead the way through often dark lyrical themes, while guitar virtuoso Ben Levin shifts seamlessly from melodic riffs to extreme dissonance, often at a moment's notice. Bassist Jessica Kion and drummer Gavin Wallace-Ailsworth contribute deep grooves, full of unexpected accents and ornamentation that glue the boundary-breaking work together. Violinist Chris Baum soars atop and through the material, further expanding the group's sonic palette, and producer/sound designer Vince Welch combines it all with understated brilliance.
