Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bent Knee's 'Shiny Eyed Babies' is a genre-defying explosion of art rock that is as catchy as it is complex. The album showcases the band's incredible dynamic range, shifting from whispered intimacy to wall-of-sound grandeur in an instant. Led by Courtney Swain's powerful vocals and Ben Levin's intricate guitar work, it is a theatrical and emotionally charged record that refuses to be categorized.
