"Juno" made Kimya Dawson something of a voice for the teen gestalt, but her latest effort plays to a younger set. "Alphabutt" is a children's album, 15 songs in 27 minutes that have a breezy, unconditional innocence and more than a little silliness. There are plenty of rectal references ("G is for gorilla fart/H is for huge gorilla fart," she sings in the title track, while "Pee-Pee in the Potty" is an a cappella ode to just that) but also simple slices of everyday life that have their own kind of poignancy. Whether it's a trip to visit extended family ("Uncle Hukee's House"), an examination of a sock and underwear drawer ("Seven Hungry Tigers") or an agenda-setting song to a child ("I Love You Sweet Baby"), there's always a cheery countenance amid lo-fi arrangements that sound like they were recorded in the family rec room. —Gary Graff
