Kimya Dawson - Alphabutt

Kimya Dawson is an American singer/songwriter. Aside from appearing as a prominent solo performer, she was also pretty well known as the one half of The Moldy Peaches, best known for their number one hit single Anyone Else But You, which was recently featured in Jason Reitman's 2007 comedy film Juno.

Alphabutt was initially self-released by Dawson sometime early 2007 and was distributed in her shows. Each EP made were uniquely handcrafted by Dawson herself - comes in a hand-decorated cardboard folder held together by a string, the CD itself, a handwritten fact sheet and nine sheets of drawings.

On September 9, the actual, proper CD will be released officially through K Records. Not too long after contributing several tracks to the incredibly successful soundtrack for the Juno film, Alphabutt spots a collection of children's songs written by Dawson along with her musical friends and their children.

Basically, she masterminded, conducted, lead and performed with a group of children to produce this album, which I guess it's a hard thing to do.

One impressive album made of pure clean vocals joint along with finger snaps, hand claps and foot stomps. Plain noise of nature.

Jesu - Why Are We Not Perfect

This EP will be released through Hydra Head and Daymare.
