SOTW: Kimya Dawson, My Rollercoaster

Kimya Dawson. How she does it I'll never know - My Rollercoaster  is a bit of a jumble. Lyrics as fast and meandering as if she was just making it up off the top of her head, sometimes almost childishly soppy (The life I love is making music with my friends) and still full of quiet beauty. You can imagine her just sitting in your kitchen, laughing, joking, eating a flapjack...and just strumming this song, introducing it with a humble "I just wrote this, it's rough, but I'm really proud of it."  And she ought to be proud. It grabs you, shakes you, puts the biggest smile on your face, and has you humming it for the next three days.

8/10
