Free Music Review: A thoughtful and emotive journal
Hit: 5 Stars
I think I would venture to say this is my favourite Kimya album (although they are all good and have their place) and perhaps one of my favourite lo-fi, anti-folk albums ever. Kimya has a brilliant way of making you feel like bouncing and crying at the same time. Her melodies are generally light, and often on this album the lyrics are quite heavy.
Will You Be Me? is a fabulous song that drifts you away into a sort of fantasy/lullaby world (this song in fact is probably what pushed the album to the top for me). The Beer is catchy but haunting and disturbing while being somewhat amusing. Who else could pull of throwing in a reference to the Mad Max movies?
I was lucky enough to see Kimya live in a small grungy club when I was in the UK, and she is brilliant. At that time I only knew her more recent stuff, and even her songs that I didn't know had captivated me. She has a magnetic personality and an unmatched talent for portraying how life is both desperate and amusing at the same time. Her work is very personal and somewhat confessional (like Plath's poetry, perhaps), but it is still very relatable and accessible.
Give Kimya a listen. Often it takes a few listens for the genius to come out, but I think you'll find it's worth the effort. If, however, you like a more polished sound, perhaps try her later album the Hidden Vagenda, which is a bit more produced.
My Cute Fiend Sweet Princess Poster
Obviously, Kimya Dawson's solo albums are highly recommended to fans of the Moldy Peaches, but don't expect sex and drug jokes. These albums are more serious, transcending the novelty and humor of the Peaches. Embracing nostalgia, melancholy and sincerity, Dawson proves as unique as she is brilliant, creating an album that is both compelling and charismatic: an instant anti-folk classic. #4 In Time Out New York?s Top 10 of 2003 and #9 on Robert Christgau?s Dean?s List in the Village Voice.Alternative Rock Music CDs
