Description:
The problem with almost every contemporary female vocalist is that they’re always pretending to be something that they’re not. Sometimes it’s a highly feminine, sophisticated, sexual, love-lost artist with her heart on her sleeve…always pretending that she actually feels something or singing about a great love she never had. The Moldy Peaches co-founder (and goddaughter of Antifolk) Kimya Dawson succeeds by simply being true to herself. There is no empty space between her visions. There is no filler in her songs. Kimya Dawson prevails by being tender, vulnerable, silly and raw. She shows you what she loves and makes yo
The problem with almost every contemporary female vocalist is that they’re always pretending to be something that they’re not. Sometimes it’s a highly feminine, sophisticated, sexual, love-lost artist with her heart on her sleeve…always pretending that she actually feels something or singing about a great love she never had. The Moldy Peaches co-founder (and goddaughter of Antifolk) Kimya Dawson succeeds by simply being true to herself. There is no empty space between her visions. There is no filler in her songs. Kimya Dawson prevails by being tender, vulnerable, silly and raw. She shows you what she loves and makes you love it, too. She is the quintessential authentic bohemian artist – what almost every smoky nightclub jazz chanteuse wishes she could be. Dawson is the artist-poet skateboard girl. And, most importantly, she is a delicate human sensing device, the only real human on a planet full of androids. What makes her music so unique and amazing is her undiluted humanity; comparable only to Richard Pryor in the way she uses humor and sorrow combined as a personal healing device. Kimya Dawson’s new album, Hidden Vagenda (her first studio album after a trilogy of home recordings from 2000 –2003) was recorded in the Bay Area at Mourningwood Studios and in friends’ bedrooms, garages and yards. While recording, Dawson was joined by friends Joe Gore, Arion Salazar, Stephan Jenkins, Daniel Johnston, Vanessa Carlton and a children’s choir in St. Ouen, France. Hidden Vagenda was co-produced and mixed by Jason Carmer (The Donnas, Run DMC, Third Eye Blind), Arion Salazar and Kimya Dawson.
