Alphabutt is an album by Kimya Dawson, recorded in February 2007. Kimya Dawson started recording a collection of songs for babies with Hidden Vagenda producer Jason Carmer. 10 songs have been done in this first recording session, 9 of which made it onto a self-released tour EP entitled Alphabutt E.Pee which was sold on Kimya's world tour in spring/summer 2007.[3]
Every copy of the EP was handcrafted and unique. It came in a hand-decorated folder of colored cardboard, held together by a string. The folder contained an Alphabutt CD-R, a handwritten fact sheet and nine sheets of drawings on pink paper - one for each song. The flipside of the folder reads "made with love at the great crap factory."
The Alphabutt sessions were completed on February 21, 2008, and the full album was released on K Records in September 2008. Against previous plans, the retail CD did not come with a children's book: "I decided to just release it as a cd, because then it will be out much faster. I am going to make a book for kids another time. It will take forever to get a book completed but the cd is so close to being done. It is a crazy album! I am really excited about it."[4]
