OUR NEW ALBUM "FOREST FIELD" IST FREE,.,.,.,
DOWNLOAD HERE:

http://www.experimentaldental.com/free




PRESS RELEASE FOR FOREST FIELD:
Experimental Dental School are a musical duo from Portland Oregon that somehow sound like a 12 piece marching band. Their new album FOREST FIELD is a unique blend of pop melody and compact punk rock power. Shoko pummels the drums like a jazz great while chanting like a sweet catholic nun. Jesse sings as if his voice were made from an old telephone, and plays the guitar like a feral cat. The duo recently finished a 6 week US tour with the esteemed Deerhoof and have shared stages with The Shins, Trans Am, Deerhunter, Errase Errata, etc. This Spring will find XDS on their 5th tour of Europe. The new XDS album, FOREST FIELD is FREE on-line, and is patently waiting for download at their website: http://www.experimentaldental.com

BIO BY XDS:
The guitar bends to the breaking point.
Drums pump. Drums crack.
Synthesizer samples crisp & crackle.
One voice howls, the other coos.
A sea of bass over a lake of pedals.
Here is some nerdy dirty Jazz. hmm..
or is it vintage garage pop?
psychedelic world music?,,
synth fractured dance beats.
Pretty? yes. Ugly? yes.
