Kimya Dawson/Matty Pop Chart

On her debut for the International Pop Underground series, Dawson releases this split EP with friend and touring companion Matty Pop Chart, a.k.a. Matt Tobey. "My Mom" and "Underground" will appear on her upcoming record, "Remember That I Love You" (April 2006). Kimya continues to do what she does best: dealing with the harsh realities of life by writing humorous and darkly lyrical songs. On this 7-inch, she explores death. Matty combines unconventional instruments such as the accordion and a bike horn with his unusually whimsical voice to create weird and wonderful pop songs. "Child Of The Sea" is full of imagery of sheep, geese, and sci-fi, while saying to us, "be true to yourself and be proud of it", while "Thailand Song" challenges you to examine the things around you.
