[@blakehodges6597]

The instrumental section in Mr. Invisible is one of my favorite parts of any song. To add on your recommendations, I love Rube Goldberg Variations for its more jazz-leaning structure, and it's definitely worth a listen if you're into instrumentals.

[@mikemitchell6815]

You mentioned that you thought you heard some counterpoint arrangements between 2 guitars in the solo @14:20, so I just figured it was worth noting that there is actually only 1 guitar in this band, and you were likely hearing the electric violin as the "2nd guitar". The violinist is mind blowing, I didn't realize there wasn't a 2nd guitar until I saw them live and realized most of the times I thought there was a 2nd guitar it was him. There are some songs with more obvious sounding violin solos, but sometimes his play sounds so much like a second guitar. Absolutely amazing band, a bunch of good songs have already been mentioned here but it's just worth sitting through their albums, they are all great.

Bent Knee is a great band that toured with Thank You Scientist. Definitely proggy and polyrhythmic but not as heavy as a lot of the stuff you do. Their guitarist Ben Levin puts out great vids here on KZbin as well. For something heavier I highly suggest Their Dogs Were Astronauts. Get Up is a great song of theirs to look at. They also have one called Contortionist thats a more popular song of theirs, but im partial to the former because its deceptively upbeat and pop-ish.

[@paulfromjupiter]

Saw Bent Knee with Leprous and Haken. It was a great night of bands that are quite different, yet worked really well as a total package. Bent Knee has this chaotic energy around them, but in the way an explosion or an accident looks beautiful in slow motion. It’s not as loud or scary when viewed that way, but the end result is the same. They just always seem to be having fun.
