JUST LISTEN: Dentist “Corked”

The Deets:

Who: Dentist
Song: “Corked”
Appears On: First single off their third album Night Swimming due out July 20th via Cleopatra Records
Current Location: Asbury Park, NJ
Info: The new Night Swimming album juxtaposes catchy indie surf pop with lyrical themes about social anxiety and heartache. Night Swimming showcases an aggressive approach to their beach inspired pop with lyrics covering the spectrum of human emotions. Produced by Andy Bova and Justin Bornemann, this album was mastered by Jürgen Engler (Die Krupps, Nico, Iggy and The Stooges, Queensryche).

“This album was an attempt to capture all the different aspects of ourselves and create something that we would want to listen to,” says Justin Bornemann. “Musically we are attracted to rawness and simplicity, but melodically we lean towards a pop aesthetic.  The lyrics tend to be focused on social anxiety, heartache and loss, but sometimes reveal love and optimism,” adds Emily Bornemann.

Their strongest release to date, the new album showcases the bands ability to fit pop hooks into aggressive garage punk one moment, then dreamy surf pop the next. The album is cohesive but represents an exercise in capturing all aspects of the band’s personality.
Comments: How else do you describe “Corked” other than dreamy surf rock. With some 90’s alt rock influences mixed in and Emily Bornemann’s impeccably sugary vocals, over their precisely aggressive bass lines and riffs, Dentist is the jangle pop we need to get us through this hot and anxiety filled summer. “Corked” is just the first teaser from Night Swimming and if it’s any indication of what’s to come, this is sure to be the summer album to listen to.
