it seems to me that this album got a lot of stick for not sounding like the moldy peaches, which is a bit silly really because, taken for what it is (a lo-fi solo collection), there's a rough beauty here that speaks from a place the shiny studio magic of the likes of say, david gray, can only dream of.
the songs are grounded in rudimentary folk-styled guitar picking (okay, it's not lightning but it does its job - think dylan's first album) and the occasional added tinkling of xylophone, bells or tape weirdness. lyrically points of warmth shine through in every song, and although the rhymes can be predictable at times, it's worth sticking with it.
some tracks will grind on, and some will seem too short. some melodies will hit you, and some will pass you by.
the main question here is whether you find kimya's voice pleasant or not. if you appreciated her rough, faltering vocal on "nothing came out" (moldy peaches, 2000) then you'll be pleased to know that all is present and correct here. if, however, you can't deal with the odd off-key note, or you need a "conventionally" good voice to carry a song, i wouldn't suggest this album.
as i write this i begin to realise that there's not a lot of point writing this. if you're on this page then the chances are you're gonna buy the album anyway, and i'd advise you to go ahead and do so. if you're not on this page, then i guess you're missing out on a movement that shouldn't really be called anti-folk, but just plain old folk. these songs speak from the heart.
you've come here from the moldy peaches. where you go next depends on whether you want the funny, rude aspects of that (look to adam green - i know this is a sweeping generalisation and his solo album is also rather lovely in places). if you want the pretty heartbreak then turn to this album. it's flawed (quite heavily) but that's all part of the appeal.

Kimya Dawson is real. That's why I, and many others, love her.
Her lyrics are beyond gritty, and this album, unlike Dawson's previous albums, presents childlike innocence and harsh adult reality. Songs like "Hold my hand" are raw and tender. Whereas "Wandering Daughter" manages to portray naivety and Kimya Dawson's two fingers to the world spirit. So any mouldy peaches fans can take it easy. The warmth of home recording shines through this album, which is something many artists can't achieve. And as ever, Dawson's lyricism and guitar may seem rudimentary yet are near impossible to replicate. I don't know how she does it, but she does.

If you're thinking of buying Kimya Dawson's record then you're probably already clued up to the wonder that is the Moldy Peaches. Kimya's solo work doesn't quite stand up to the sheer inimitability of the Peaches, but is still definitely worth a look, especially for devotees such as myself. The songs are longer, and sometimes drag, especially since the album lacks the catchiness that allows you to latch on easily. Stinky Stuff isn't even worth listening to, but some of the lyrics are great, and, with a bit of patience, the record reveals some sensitive and enjoyable songwriting. Trump Style and So Far To Go are musical high points for me, and Reminders Of Then is heart-breaking.
Not as instantly accessible as the Moldy Peaches, but if you would prefer longer, more sensible songs, then it's practically made for you. Otherwise, my advice is get The Moldy Peaches, and maybe then get Jeffrey Lewis, first.
