Bent Knee: “Illterate”
Written By Michael Gutierrez
You ever seen Zach Galifianakis’ “pretentious illiterate” character? He performs it at some point during this Purple Onion set. The joke is that he puts on glasses, gives you a condescending glare, and proudly announces that he can’t read. Or something like that. Is Bent Knee giving us a similar type of wisecrack with a misspelling of ‘illiterate’ as a song title? That’s kind of hilarious. Or maybe it’s just an honest typo. Extra points for the jazzy vocal runs. Off the full-length LP Twenty Pills Without Water. Which is a lot of pills without water.
