They had previously worked together on various projects, but had never co-written together. When they started playing and recording, they decided to radically commit to improvised parts and build arrangements in one-take performances. In the studio, they felt free to explore, not limiting themselves or each other, and found the process fun and effortless: no song took more than a couple hours from conception to finished product. Recorded during the same sessions as ‘Our First EP’ which released in March 2022, Courtney and Brad’s new album ’A Square is a Shape of Power’ delves further into their grab bag of influences ranging from J-pop, folk, slow core, deep house, d-beat, and Enka. Despite the experimentalism at play, the songs weave into a surprisingly cohesive whole of openly cheeky and joyful songs that catch the listener off guard with covertly emotional undercurrents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fce9a8e4b0560c84dcb2ed/1668101096344-RPPZLLG9H1875M2FNEGC/image-asset.png Music Gallery - Augustine by Courtney Swain Released August 19th, 2022 Music and cover art by Courtney Swain Produced and mixed by Vince Welch Mastered by Randy Roos Engineered by Bradford Krieger at Big Nice Studio Additional recording at The Record Co engineered by Vince Welch Thanks to my friends Tim, Kyle, Anthony, Morgan, Elliott, Kate, Azusa, and Riley.

They had previously worked together on various projects, but had never co-written together. When they started playing and recording, they decided to radically commit to improvised parts and build arrangements in one-take performances. In the studio, they felt free to explore, not limiting themselves or each other, and found the process fun and effortless: no song took more than a couple hours from conception to finished product. Drawing on influences ranging from Japanese folk and pop to slowcore, deep house, and d-beat, Courtney and Brad’s EP is a grab bag of experimental pop music. They write songs that are playful, texturally engaging, and covertly emotional. The EP is Courtney’s first release in Japanese. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fce9a8e4b0560c84dcb2ed/1651255184572-BGCMWDSN5A2G1518282M/image-asset.jpeg Music Gallery - Frosting by Bent Knee released November 5, 2021 Bent Knee is: Ben Levin Chris Baum Courtney Swain Jessica Kion Gavin Wallace-Ailsworth Vince Welch FROSTING Written and performed by Bent Knee Produced and mixed by Vince Welch Engineered by Bent Knee, Bradford Krieger, Chaimes Parker, David Minehan, and Danielle Goldsmith Additional vocal production by Josh Friedman Mastered by Randy Roos at Squam Sound Recorded at our home studios, Big Nice Studio, The Record Company, Tiny Telephone, and Woolly Mammoth Sound Album art by Ben Levin © 2021 Bent Knee Additional performances by: Joe Gullace (trumpet), Quinn Carson (trombone), and Tyler Brasch (alto sax) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fce9a8e4b0560c84dcb2ed/1620079330808-H314DYTO8VRV3N8NEDXD/image-asset.jpeg Music Gallery - Ripe by Tsubaki Full film: https://youtu.be/MmSm4UQOBQI Composed and performed by Tsubaki Abby Swidler Courtney Swain Kyle Harris Mixed by Vince Welch Mastered by Randy Roos Video and stills by Riki Nitabaru Cover art treatment by Kyle Harris Dancers Yoshiko Swain Yachiho Ito Tomoko Ohno Masanobu Uchida Keiko Hayashi Mitsue Kawano https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fce9a8e4b0560c84dcb2ed/1620079138313-KR1P4B02ARDGLI1DLECH/image-asset.jpeg Music Gallery - Fountainhead by Courtney Swain Fountainhead is a 35-minute ambient album with accompanying visuals.

They had previously worked together on various projects, but had never co-written together. When they started playing and recording, they decided to radically commit to improvised parts and build arrangements in one-take performances. In the studio, they felt free to explore, not limiting themselves or each other, and found the process fun and effortless: no song took more than a couple hours from conception to finished product. Recorded during the same sessions as ‘Our First EP’ which released in March 2022, Courtney and Brad’s new album ’A Square is a Shape of Power’ delves further into their grab bag of influences ranging from J-pop, folk, slow core, deep house, d-beat, and Enka. Despite the experimentalism at play, the songs weave into a surprisingly cohesive whole of openly cheeky and joyful songs that catch the listener off guard with covertly emotional undercurrents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fce9a8e4b0560c84dcb2ed/1668101096344-RPPZLLG9H1875M2FNEGC/image-asset.png Music - Augustine by Courtney Swain Released August 19th, 2022 Music and cover art by Courtney Swain Produced and mixed by Vince Welch Mastered by Randy Roos Engineered by Bradford Krieger at Big Nice Studio Additional recording at The Record Co engineered by Vince Welch Thanks to my friends Tim, Kyle, Anthony, Morgan, Elliott, Kate, Azusa, and Riley.

They had previously worked together on various projects, but had never co-written together. When they started playing and recording, they decided to radically commit to improvised parts and build arrangements in one-take performances. In the studio, they felt free to explore, not limiting themselves or each other, and found the process fun and effortless: no song took more than a couple hours from conception to finished product. Drawing on influences ranging from Japanese folk and pop to slowcore, deep house, and d-beat, Courtney and Brad’s EP is a grab bag of experimental pop music. They write songs that are playful, texturally engaging, and covertly emotional. The EP is Courtney’s first release in Japanese. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fce9a8e4b0560c84dcb2ed/1651255184572-BGCMWDSN5A2G1518282M/image-asset.jpeg Music - Frosting by Bent Knee released November 5, 2021 Bent Knee is: Ben Levin Chris Baum Courtney Swain Jessica Kion Gavin Wallace-Ailsworth Vince Welch FROSTING Written and performed by Bent Knee Produced and mixed by Vince Welch Engineered by Bent Knee, Bradford Krieger, Chaimes Parker, David Minehan, and Danielle Goldsmith Additional vocal production by Josh Friedman Mastered by Randy Roos at Squam Sound Recorded at our home studios, Big Nice Studio, The Record Company, Tiny Telephone, and Woolly Mammoth Sound Album art by Ben Levin © 2021 Bent Knee Additional performances by: Joe Gullace (trumpet), Quinn Carson (trombone), and Tyler Brasch (alto sax) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fce9a8e4b0560c84dcb2ed/1620079330808-H314DYTO8VRV3N8NEDXD/image-asset.jpeg Music - Ripe by Tsubaki Full film: https://youtu.be/MmSm4UQOBQI Composed and performed by Tsubaki Abby Swidler Courtney Swain Kyle Harris Mixed by Vince Welch Mastered by Randy Roos Video and stills by Riki Nitabaru Cover art treatment by Kyle Harris Dancers Yoshiko Swain Yachiho Ito Tomoko Ohno Masanobu Uchida Keiko Hayashi Mitsue Kawano https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fce9a8e4b0560c84dcb2ed/1620079138313-KR1P4B02ARDGLI1DLECH/image-asset.jpeg Music - Fountainhead by Courtney Swain Fountainhead is a 35-minute ambient album with accompanying visuals.
