Dentist - Night Swimming: Reviewed By Michael Mitchell

Just because I am from the great "First State" and Dentist have a song from their last album titled "Meet You There (In Delaware)", I will in no way be biased in my review. That being said, their new album, 'Night Swimming', should be in everyone's rotation this summer. From the pounding opening beats of "Upset Words" to the last pulses of "The Latter", this album never fails to give you catchy, upbeat melodies that will have you humming as you head out to your spot on the beach. Their brand of lo-fi surf pop is often reserved for West Coast bands but these Jersey-ites are claiming it East Coast! Imagine The Pixies and Belly having a baby and you'll have an idea of the frenetic, jangly sparkle that they have on this, their third album. Memorable as the melodies are, don't be fooled too much by the happy tones. Lyrically Emily and Justin Bornemann's songs go into heartbreak (the title track 'Night Swimming') and failed relationship recovery ('Figure-Four's lyric, that has become one of my favorite new buzz phrases, "The world has gone to shit and I am over it"). Also noteworthy is 'Corked' which has to be the next single. You need a Corona-colonic if you don't have this song stuck in your head long after the album ends. Clocking in at a little over 30 minutes, this shimmering jewel will be on repeat for quite a while to help me bop through my daily grind and I don't even have to wait until two-thirty to enjoy...see what I did there? Bad dentist joke......sue me.
