Thunder Thighs

Kimya Dawson

A sprawling, seventy-minute diary of radical honesty. Acoustic anti-folk meets lo-fi hip-hop in a messy, beautiful exploration of trauma and resilience.

It's like a 70-minute long, super-honest hug from your most creative, slightly traumatized friend.

A courageous and messy journey through trauma toward a hard-won sense of hope.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, ten-minute emotional crescendo of Walk Like Thunder where the repetition becomes a survival mantra.
The charmingly clunky transition into a rap-influenced flow on Miami Advice that feels like a secret shared between friends.
The sudden, stark intimacy of the piano on Zero or a Zillion that shifts the album's gravity.
