Music for Perfect People

From her forthcoming album Thunder Thighs, Kimya Dawson has released the 10-minute single “Walk Like Thunder” for stream/download. Not only do Dawson’s vocals cut straight to the bone (or the heart if you have one,) but the roster of artists included on the track is quite amazing as well! The track features:

Kimya Dawson- guitar, vocals
Andrew Dorsett- piano
Jack Dishel- guitar
Nikolai Fraiture- bass
Angelo Spencer- guitar
Ben Kapp- drums, percussion
Clyde Petersen- amp shaking, thunder making
Additional vocals- Aesop Rock, John Darnielle, Quinn Tuffinuff

So, to straighten things out, this track features a member of The Strokes, members of The Moldy Peaches, Dawson’s husband/label mate, a member of The Mountain Goats, and Aesop Rock, among others. Quite the feat!
