I just had the pleasure of seeing Kimya Dawson and she was great,
she's also on a great tour with some of her friends, The Pharmacy
and Matty Pop Chart. Show support, being a very independent artist
is rough and touring is the way she lives her life. If you enjoy
her music, pick up a cd. You may even get a free shirt.
----------------
Kimya Dawson can sing "I can spoon a guy and still be his friend"
with no abashment. It's almost as if she was never taught what's
indecent. Sometimes that's what makes her so unique. Although
given a simultaneous release, this solo entry (the more pensive
and respectable of the two) was recorded a year-and-a-half after
Knock-Knock Who?. Unlike the lush arrangements on her counterpart
Adam Green's Friends of Mine, Dawson is content with lo-fi anti-
folk. She's cute and lewd, sometimes within the same song, making
clever pop culture and New York City references within her quick-
witted rhymes. Sesame Street meets Ani DiFranco and Bob Dylan on
shy songs such as opener "Chemistry," while Dawson even has a
little girl to sing backup vocals on "Everything's Alright."
Rarely does she add anything else, aside from something such as a
twinkling toy piano in "Will You Be Me?" Whether she's expressing
suppressed memories or feelings about relationships, there's
plenty of leftover childhood angst. And that makes for something
unyieldingly genuine. - Kenyon Hopkin (allmusic.com)
