Product Description
(2-LP Set) Ex- Moldy Peaches singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson is most widely known for the Grammy nominated, Platinum selling soundtrack for the movie JUNO. Kimya's new solo album Thunder Thighs has major and minor themes including oceans, cancer, transgendered heroes, feeling safe in your own skin, saving public libraries and making big albums in a small, familial way. The album features guest performances by rapper/producer Aesop Rock plus members of the Strokes, Mountain Goats, and more. Thunder Thighs is being self-released on Kimya's own Great Crap Factory label. This 2 LP set is pressed on gold vinyl and includes a digital download card.
''Kimya Dawson may have the most earnest voice in indie rock.'' - SPIN (7/10)
''Thunder Thighs is a mix of the infectiously fun (Dawson raps about Judy Blume in The Library) and the achingly sad (Walk Like Thunder, a mournful yet determined 10-minute epic about the death of her friends). Fans won't be disappointed by the release'' - METROMIX
''...it's good to have her back.'' - FILTER
''Thunder Thighs' guest list is so vast that she probably needed to get a few more cases of Jameson to keep the party going. Nikolai Fraiture from the Strokes, John Darnielle from the Mountain Goats, a couple of weirdly named choirs, and Aesop Rock are sharing the sound space with her.'' - BROWARD PALM BEACH NEW TIMES
''Although the personal touch of Kimya's delicate strumming and the crackling of her soft voice still sit forefront, the backbone is a more mature solid arrangement that supports her powerful poetry.'' - GLIDE MAGAZINE

A veteran of the scrappy anti-folk circuit, with stream of consciousness songs that balance the caustic and the childlike... --NY Times
