Dork puts the fun back in being mean, singing about ghosting people and lying about it — never afraid to explore the ugly parts of the self. In her music, she combines groovy guitar-based indie with dream pop and hyperbolic songwriting. The lyrics stand at the center of her feel-bad-indie universe, painting a picture of a lazy, asocial, and ironic main character. Here, Dork walks a thematic tightrope between snark and sadness, charmingly and nonchalantly singing about her flaws.

Dork is the musical alias of songwriter and musician Lærke Simoni. For Simoni, music functions as both escapism and therapy — a way of managing a life marked by overthinking and a constant feeling of otherness.
