Bent Shapes

Hyperliterate, tightly-wound, and irreverent, Bent Shapes released a string of cassettes, flexis, 7"s, and even VHS tapes under the name Girlfriends from 2009 until their debut full-length, Feels Weird, arrived in 2013 under their new moniker. Their output has earned them praise from outlets as diverse as Maximum Rocknroll, NPR, and Pitchfork, and led to tours and shows with John Vanderslice, Fucked Up, Ted Leo, and The Bats. The band spent early 2015 recording their second LP with Elio DeLuca (Titus Andronicus), promising an album full of meditations on mental illness, the struggle to bring goodness into the world, and faith in humanity as a renewable resource.
