some of the bands & performers from last year

Kimya Dawson

If you have listened to The Moldy Peaches or to any of Kimya Dawson’s first three solo albums (i’m sorry that sometimes i’m mean, knock-knock who?, and my cute fiend sweet princess) you will be familiar with her beautiful use of cassette four track to achieve an intimate sense of solitude. These home recordings make it feel as though you have a friend there with you whispering in your ear. And you do. Kimya is your friend.

She is one of those rare birds that make you feel like she needs you as much as you need her. Her songs make you feel needed and important. And her fans/friends have been doing the same for her. Since the release of early Moldy Peaches recordings she has been hearing people say “thanks for making me realize that I am not the only one out there who feels like this” and to this she replies “thanks for making me realize that I am not the only one out there who feels like this”.
