Ode to Dawn Wiener: Embarrassing Love Songs

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired by the socially awkward protagonist of the cult film 'Welcome to the Dollhouse', this deeply unsettling indie folk record pairs Nicole Dollanganger's cherubic, high-pitched vocals with shockingly explicit and morbid lyricism. Recorded entirely in her bedroom and released via Tumblr, the album explores themes of obsessive love, sexual violence, and suburban rot over sparse acoustic guitar. It quickly cemented her reputation as a singular, darkly fascinating voice in lo-fi music.
