Bent Arcana

**Bent Arcana** is a freewheeling experimental music collective led by **John Dwyer** (Thee Oh Sees, Osees), known for crafting sprawling, improvisational soundscapes that blend psychedelic rock, jazz, and avant-garde textures. Formed in 2020, the group operates as a rotating cast of collaborators, including musicians from bands like **Preening**, **Sword + Sandals**, and Dwyer’s own orbit. Their self-titled 2020 debut album leaned into hypnotic, instrumental jams, while live releases like *Live Zebulon* (2023) and *Misanthrope Gets Lunch (Live)* (2024) capture their chaotic, spontaneous energy on stage. Bent Arcana thrives on unpredictability—think krautrock grooves colliding with cosmic jazz, all delivered with a DIY punk spirit. Perfect for fans of mind-bending sonic adventures!
