The Week in Music May 10 – 14

Here we are. Here you are. It’s Monday morning, so let’s go back in time. Way way back, to last week. We’ve got new hits from the Goon Sax and Quivers, as well as some more obscure stuff like Keron and Nina Savary. Plus, we’ve got some old favorites in Dentist, Leon Bridges and Tapeworms, piled on top of a few tunes we dug that already got the mass of hype you’d expect. As per our tastes, its all over the place, which is sort of how I’m feeling on this Monday morning. Have a rad day my friends!

New Single & BEER From Dentist

Asbury Park based band Dentist has long been a running staple here on the pages of your friendly ATH music blog. The band has always dropped great music and strived to work their asses off, all while doing things the right way and staying true to their sound and message. In typical fashion, the band couldn’t simply drop this great new single “Let Me Let Go” and call it a day… NO, the band got together with New Jersey based brewing company Last Wave Brewing to pair the track with what sounds like a delicious New England-style India Pale Ale. For those of us who don’t live in the NJ area, the new single and accompanying video will have to suffice. It’s pretty rad.

Dentist will be releasing a new LP of material sometime later this year on Cleopatra Records. Now to see if I can get my hands on some of this beer.

Dentist Share Don’t Let Me Catch You Video

While it opens with a nod to the Misfits (you hear it too right?), Dentist speed ahead to their sugar sweet pop antics almost immediately. The riffs steel feel very heavy, but Emily’s voice atop the mix really has this coy, angelic quality, particularly when she’s dropping out those “ooh ooh ooh oohs” through the chorus. This is the first new music we get to hear from the band as they prepare to release their next LP later this year; you can be sure we’ll have more on that at a later date. For now, enjoy the song and the video as you start your Monday.

Dentist Share New Video

Late last summer, New Jersey outfit Dentist released Night Swimming via Cleopatra Records. We gave the album and its singles solid praise when it dropped, and we were super fortunate to have the band play our ATH Day Party this week at SXSW. Now, the band have a brand new video for standout single “Alone in the Garden.” The video’s mostly a performance video, shot in various ways with fun little elements thrown into the mix; the song is a blistering bit of power pop, with just the right hint of dreaminess thrown in for good measure. The album is available to buy directly from the band HERE, or you can grab it from Cleopatra.

And…if you’re in Austin right now, they’ve got a show at 2 PM at Side Bar, and at 6 PM over at Hard Luck Lounge!

Another Great Dentist Tune

Not but more than a few weeks removed from their last hit, Dentist are back with another great pop number we can enjoy on Monday. It opens with a pounding snare and floor drum over a discordant guitar chord that seems to bound down the hallway before Emily enters the picture with her voice. I love how her delivery is calmed, almost matching syllables and drum beats; it gives a certain cadence to the tune. That sets up the delicious chorus, as infectious as ever. Night Swimming will drop on July 20th via Cleopatra Records…with an Austin date at Cheer Up Charlies just a week after the release!

Dentist Sign to Cleopatra Records

When a band make and announcement that they’ve signed a deal with a new label, it usually means new music is waiting in the wings. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait long for New Jersey act Dentist to drop a new track with their announcement; it should put you on alert for your next favorite band. Opening with a steady strum before Emily’s voice joins in the fray, always building towards that emotional release you seek in your pop music. It comes quick and fast, with pounding drums rolling along as the tempo builds. I love how the vocals seem to slide right in casually, as if the song’s new power means little to our vocalist. The group will release the very charming Night Swimming via Cleopatra on July 20th.

Bright Pop From Dentist

untitledOn a dreary Monday, it always helps so give yourself a little big of bright pop music to bring up your moods. Today that inspiration can best be provided by Asbury Park based band Dentist and their new single “Awful”. Though the song lyrics and subject matter seem to be a bit negative, the overall feeling of the song comes across as sunny and infectious. I believe this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Dentist will dropCeilingson June 24th via Little Dickman Records.
