Bent Knee have announced that they’ll release their new album this summer.
Titled Land Animal, it will launch on June 23 via InsideOut.
It’s said to offer “a suite of songs full of addictive hooks, lush melodies and enthralling twists and turns that capture the reality of life in the 21st Century – a reality of people and nations in the midst of tumultuous change.
“It also communicates a ray of hope and desire for listeners to embrace the fact that they’re not alone in their struggles.”
To mark the announcement, the band have also released a video for the album’s title track, which was directed by Greg Brown and “explores the inner conflicts people have as they endure daily stresses and lose the big picture view on what really matters in life.”
Watch the video below.
Bent Knee are currently on tour across North America, while Land Animal is now available for pre-order. See the cover art and full tracklist below, along with the band’s tour dates.
