Although hearing Bent Knee blast messy futurepop noise was jarring at first, I cannot say that this shift in focus is shocking with this band. They always thrived on exploiting any niche or peculiar trend or curiosity in the music world at any given time, so them turning their attention toward all the difficult to navigate noisy styles on 'Frosting' is not surprising. However, and I did mention it multiple times already, it's a mess. Most songs are overdoing it with the chaos, some are unsure of what to really sound like, and the album mostly works when the band employs their tried and true progressive rock song-writing.

Bent Knee has always been a band that I thought would always stick to their guns and continue to make really great art rock and experimental rock music. Ben Levin and Courtney always had a great knack for writing incredible Melodie?s and builds that they made most progressive rock bands today look bad. However, their time was up, and they are exploring new sounds and styles that make sense for what Ben Levin has been doing as of late on his YouTube channel and with Adam Neely, however, this album is a bit of a mess. On one hand, you have some truly great tracks that have some, again, incredible building power into a grand finally. But then you have these awkward tracks that are hyperpop and Indietronica-inspired that just do not pan out. So, I will kind of chock this album up to the band experimenting with a lot of new sounds and styles, and hopefully into the future they kind find something that works best for them.
