Singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson is best known as part of the New York City anti-folk outfit the Moldy Peaches. In 2002, Dawson released her debut solo album, I’m Sorry That Sometimes I’m Mean, a collection of spare tunes sung to an acoustic guitar and Dawson’s voice, which breaks with hurt over tales of abuse and longing. A number of Dawson’s songs are included on the Juno soundtrack, released in December 2007. The soundtrack album, after two weeks topping Billboard’s Digital Albums chart, reached #8 on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release.
