Bent Knee - Twenty Pills Without Water (2024)

The seventh album from this band from USA.

The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, violin, keyboards, synths, electronics and vocals.

This is the first album from the new Bent Knee after both their original members left the band. Only the vocalist Courtney Swain is left from the last album, if I am not much mistaken.

I thought I had reviewed some of their six first albums, if not all of them. But that is not the case so I will do that next year... or so. 

Their music is a mix of eclectic prog, electronica and a bit avant-garde pop/rock. The music is pretty elegant too and has got some pop sensibilities.

The music is also very much focused on Courtney's vocals which is everywhere. Some really good vocals, btw. Tori Amos is a good reference for both the vocals and the music on this album.

Some of the music is slightly atonal too. There is also a couple of strange songs here in the avant-garde folk rock vein. Weird but not that great. 

There are a lot of interesting details on this three quarters of an hour long album. Interesting details and lots of good music too.

It is an intriguing album which should please those into eclectic prog and female vocals progressive rock.

I will definate visit and review their first six albums sometimes in the next couple of years for # 4 of this blog.

Check out this album.
