Look at that hair!Sorry I'm not one of those special people who knew Kimya Dawson and the Moldy Peaches before Juno. I wasn't old enough to be that cool in 2007.
So Kimya Dawson used to play and write and sing in silly lo-fi band the Moldy Peaches. Then the Moldy Peaches broke up and that other guy Adam Green started writing chamber pop with the same silly vulgar lyricism. Kimya Dawson kept similarly simplistic instrumentation but with newfound stream-of-consciousness heart-on-sleeve lyricism. I generally regard Remember That I Love You as my absolute favorite album because it lyrically outshines the rest of my collection. Her most recent release is a children's album called Alphabutt. I will make my baby brother listen to it in the near future.
I'd definitely recommend her most recent standard studio albums (Hidden Vagenda and Remember That I Love You) over her older stuff. It took her a while to grow out of the Moldy Peaches.
