Critical reception

Bent was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 63 based on 4 reviews. [4]

In a review for Tiny Mix Tapes , critic reviewer Conrad Tao wrote: "Bent, the band’s newest record, is brazenly shallow pop music, aware of and confident in its insubstantiality and general tackiness. Bent seems like a fashionable record at the moment is curious — the witch house camp's visual sense is closely aligned with Cody Critcheloe's distinctive artwork, and 1980s pop deconstructionism is certainly experiencing a particularly strong renaissance right now." [6] Eric Grandy of Pitchfork said: "It's unfair to judge Bent as a stand-alone object, as the point or the primary document of the SSION project rather than as merely one prong of many in a multimedia pincer attack."
