Bent Knee Shiny Eyed Babies is the definition of insanity, but is also the exact type of progression that is required in 2014 where an over-saturated music scene makes originally a more limited component. You can tell each of the members bring their respective influences into a unique sound, interestingly blending elements of psychdelia, baroque pop, ambient, and even a dose of progressive rock. A lot of this music ends up sounding like an insane crossover between Fiona Apple, Radiohead, Devin Townsend, and Imogen Heap-all morphed into one blast. Excellent in it's melodies and intricately placed with it's instrumentation-Shiny Eyed Babies is a bold and daring album on all fronts, daring you to sink in it's soft lush atmospheres only to pull the carpet from under you-exposing your tears and gritting teeth smile.

Magnificent and titanic. Every song, except interludes delicate as a glass, has a MASSIVE soundscape capable of putting you in awe for its sheer intenseness. And then it has one of the most powerful vocals, switching from sweet chirping to colossal wailing like an ocean tide.

This album takes the strangest hoops and yet sounds seamless in the process. At no point does Bent Knee become metal or pop and yet they somehow near both simultaneously at many points throughout the album.

It is quite all over the place and that's why it is such an interesting listen. Hopefully the next one will take what was great about this and discard what didn't really work.

This is what progressive rock needs right now. Their arrangements are masterful, their hooks memorable, and Courtney Swain swings for the fences with every vocal melody, only to knock it out of the park with ease.
