Dig into this week’s Saturday Alternative playlist! The Fitting Room album was Land Animal by Bent Knee, out now on InsideOut/Sony.

You might not be surprised to learn that the Boston band, Bent Knee, met at Berklee College of Music. That was back in 2009, and they’ve been honing their genre-defying art-rock over the course of 8 years and 4 albums, the most recent of which being their major label debut, Land Animal, which just came out on InsideOut/Sony. We’ve heard them on the show before. I was blown away by the song “Leak Water” from their 2016 album, Say So. The way they can effortlessly change direction, and then so quickly and effectively pull themselves back into a monster groove, I couldn’t get enough of it. They’re offering up so much more of that on this new album.  The whole thing is a wild sonic adventure.
