Dork is the musical alias of songwriter and musician Lærke Simoni. For Simoni, music serves both as escapism and a form of therapy in a life marked by overthinking and feelings of alienation. Dork plays the anti-hero as she sings about ghosting and lying about it on her debut EP, ‘I’m not a good person.’ A 4-track EP that explores the darker sides of the self.
On the debut EP, groovy guitar-based indie rock is combined with dream pop and bittersweet garage rock. The lyrics paint a picture of a lazy, antisocial, and self-ironic protagonist in a feel-bad indie universe. There’s a balance between sarcasm and melancholy in nonchalant and charming songs about personal inadequacy.
The first single, ‘Legs,’ has been well-received on the Danish music scene, with airtime on the radio station P6 BEAT and coverage in the cultural magazine Soundvenue which described the song as "a charming, scrappy dose of indie rock with snarky deadpan humor à la Rhian Teasdale from Wet Leg."
Look forward to an intimate and dynamic live experience as Dork invites you into her melancholic world.
