Terror Bird Video Premiere

I'm thrilled to debut Bent Knee's second single/video from Land Animal, out June 23rd from InsideOutMusic/Sony. "Terror Bird" is about fighting our natural inclination to become indifferent toward the world around us. We all have an idea in our heads of how a good person thinks and feels. Good people feel sad when hearing about tragedies, angry when reading about injustices, and happy for other’s successes, but sometimes, our brains fail to meet our own standards and slump into an apathetic mush instead. In a globalized, hyper-connected society, it’s a problem we wrestle with now more than ever. Stream the video at https://youtu.be/44juYfgipU4.

"Terror Bird" was directed by Greg Bowen and stars Caitlin Weaver. The song is now available for streaming on all major platforms. Preorder Land Animal at bentkneemusic.com/store.

Holy Ghost Video Premiere // June Tour Dates

"It’s very rare that an artist or band comes along that changes your perspective on music and art. On 'Holy Ghost,' Bent Knee have done just that."

Bent Knee's first of a series of live videos filmed at The Record Co. just premiered via Substream Magazine. The concert was sponsored by iZotope, produced by DeSant Productions, engineered by Geoff Nielson & Jamie Rowe, and mixed by Vince Welch. "Holy Ghost" is from Land Animal, Bent Knee's upcoming studio album, out June 23rd on InsideOut/Sony.

Hands Up Music Video Release

Bent Knee's fourth and final music video from 2016’s Say So (Cuneiform Records) is now streaming at https://youtu.be/g3G7M2dHivg. A bit of spring cleaning, if you will. Hands Up was produced by Human Being Productions, directed by Greg Bowen, filmed by Rich Ferri and Jon Stenning, and stars the brilliant Gabrielle Zabinski-Valdera. Special thanks to Zabinski Music Studio, Annie Gjelsvik, Farisa Mulvey, Rebekah Zabinski, and the many hands that made this production possible.
