Kimya's fifth album is all about love, humour and sorrow. "For all the offbeat touches… wide-eyed hope and wonder are the albums most affecting qualities.”

"The artful and relatable way Dawson writes about real life makes each song a little individually wrapped gift.”
- NOW (8/10)
"Dawson's as self-assured as she is sensitive.”
- Blender
"The songs are especially distinct and especially direct.”
- Popmatters
"With Dawson, the focus is on the lyrics, with her music tending to serve as a mere platform for sprawling, humorous stories whose serious subject matter contradicts the childlike catchiness underpinning them.”
- Pitchfork
'Remember That I Love You' has the kind of intimacy that pop producers dream of, the kind that's impossible to imitate.
Kimya Dawson continues to expose the subtle and sometimes serious pains we all face, in order to temper them with understanding and laughter. In the process she has emerged as a seriously talented wordsmith, at once intoxicating and irresistible.
If you've listened to any part of Kimya's extensive back catalogue [including her collaboration with Adam Green as The Moldy Peaches] you will be familiar with her beautiful use of cassette 4-track to achieve an intimate sense of solitude. These home recordings make it feel like you've a friend there with you whispering in your ear. And you do. Kimya's your friend.
Signed to K Records since the official Moldy Peaches hiatus, Kimya has become a stronger musician and person. Following up on her critically acclaimed 4th album, 'Hidden Vagenda', Kimya's highly anticipated fifth album 'Remember That I Love You' is the latest chapter in the Kimya Dawson picture book, with the picture being one of love, humour and sorrow.
It represents not only Kimya's continued personal adaptation to the tumultuous world around her, but also the growing relationship between the fans and friends she needs just as much as they need her.
Rolling Stone, Spin and many others, have called Kimya "compelling”, while Under The Radar said, "It's not what Kimya says, but how she says it. She's got a knack for playing with words. In the end you want to laugh and cry and probably hug someone.” Kimya delivers deeply personal, uncompromising songwriting tucked into intelligent and clever lyrics.
