I think I would venture to say this is my favourite Kimya album (although they are all good and have their place) and perhaps one of my favourite lo-fi, anti-folk albums ever. Kimya has a brilliant way of making you feel like bouncing and crying at the same time. Her melodies are generally light, and often on this album the lyrics are quite heavy.

Will You Be Me? is a fabulous song that drifts you away into a sort of fantasy/lullaby world (this song in fact is probably what pushed the album to the top for me). The Beer is catchy but haunting and disturbing while being somewhat amusing. Who else could pull of throwing in a reference to the Mad Max movies?

I was lucky enough to see Kimya live in a small grungy club when I was in the UK, and she is brilliant. At that time I only knew her more recent stuff, and even her songs that I didn't know had captivated me. She has a magnetic personality and an unmatched talent for portraying how life is both desperate and amusing at the same time. Her work is very personal and somewhat confessional (like Plath's poetry, perhaps), but it is still very relatable and accessible.

Give Kimya a listen. Often it takes a few listens for the genius to come out, but I think you'll find it's worth the effort. If, however, you like a more polished sound, perhaps try her later album the Hidden Vagenda, which is a bit more produced.

First i got Kimya's album Remeber That I Love You, then i ended up getting Hidden Vagenda because i loved RTILY so much. Then. I got all the rest of her albums. I must say, out of all of her older ones. This one is my favorite. I love how all of the songs are different, but still the same. The lyrics are so good. So heartfelt. My favorite songs on the album are Will You Be Me? (So catchy.), Everything's Alright (I love how it's made.), The Beer (I've had this one for quite a while, so good, raw with emotional.), and Being Cool (I love the message.) Do not get me wrong. Every single song on here is good. Chemistry has AMAZING lyricism in it. So poetic. So. If you are new to Kimya or a long time patriot, then get this album. It is really, very, truly great.

This is a great, surreal and soulful album. All of the songs hold up. On "For Katie", Kimya gives a shout out to Jeffrey Lewis, another great contemporary New York songwriter who you should check out.
