Update 1/3/17 — A few photos from Okinawa:
Bent Knee's new full-length concert film Live at The Space is now streaming in its entirety at https://youtu.be/Ws0gHgDd_10. Enjoy, and a huge thanks to everyone who came to see the band perform over the summer.
A high-quality download of the film (alongside 24-Bit WAV files of the audio recordings) is available for purchase at https://gum.co/bkspace. Additionally, the band's 2015 concert film Live at Davis Square Theatre is now available as a downloadable film/album bundle as well: http://gum.co/bkdst.
To celebrate Bent Knee's Fall North American tour with The Dillinger Escape Plan, we've just released a "name your price" EP — a token of appreciation for the fans that have propelled us this far on our journey. The release includes three studio recordings from our past two albums in addition to their live counterparts.
Hurry up and download the thing! This is a limited run and will disappear at the end of the month.

Press for Say So:
"A welcoming call to music fans who savor the very special. An accusation that there are too many ideas in a work of art is dispelled when they are mostly good ones, as is the case with Bent Knee and 'Say So.'” | The Wall Street Journal
"A record that confirms its eloquence and ebullience, while also breaking new stylistic and temperamental ground." | The Boston Globe
"Mind boggling... the grandest and subtlest ideas are on the table." | NPR
"A celebration of creative freedom and unrestricted musicianship. Easily one of the best albums of the year." | Rebel Noise
"Intricately woven, surrealist stylings... a potent sense of urgency tingles the air." | Consequence of Sound
"If you love original, inventive music that defies easy categorization, you simply cannot ignore Bent Knee." | Prog Magazine
"[An] ethereal work of art." | Under The Gun
"Absolutely essential modern music that represents a hard working and creative band at the top of their game." | The Trumpet
"Expansive, genre-exploding avant rock." | Bandcamp "New and Notable"
"Like the best birthday party you’ve had in years." | Goldmine Magazine
"Brilliant! This band will soon be everywhere!" | Nik Bärtsch
"Extraordinary... the greatest discovery since Tori Amos delighted the world a quarter of a century ago." | Streetclip.tv
"Superb, with vocals to die for, an interesting new turn at every corner, and never a dull moment. Highly recommended.” | Bill Bruford
"Breathtaking in its scope and daring in its musical choices, 'Say So' is an album of unbridled ambition that dares to reach for the stars. The best album I have heard thus far in 2016." |The Progressive Aspect
