Lesson Plans EP
(Unsigned)
As bright and original as the best quiet, soulfully rendered homemade EP can be, Your Friend Kimi’s first official collection of recordings resounds with pure feminine beauty. Kimi’s voice is sweet but profoundly emotive and knowing. She mostly writes up music’s favorite topics of love and loss, yet her gentle take on them makes them intimate and honest in a way that seemed to have been thrown out with the last of bohemia. The unpolished clicks of her instruments and the echoey quality of each song is a reminder of less technical days, and more importantly, of the strength of real musical talent. But the greatness of Kimi’s music is not theoretical, it resides in the simple grace of her voice. It’s the kind of voice you want to tuck into bed next to you at the end of another long day of urban struggle. It’s the kind of voice that sings you grownup lullabies and soothes your broken heart. With just this simply assembled, rustically recorded set of seven songs Kimi has inspired this writer to brave the craze once again, chest out and heart ablaze.
