 | | Description: | Adam Green and Kimya Dawson originally crossed paths at an open mic night in Mount Kisco, New York in the early 90s. From there they went on to record a surplus of home recordings with various friends under the moniker The Moldy Peaches, and eventually became staples in the NYC anti-folk scene of the late 90's/ early 2000's. After releasing several albums that gained traction in the U.S. and UK, the group broke into the mainstream when their song "Anyone Else But You" appeared in the hit indie film "Juno" (2007).
Origin Story: 1994-1999 is a collection of songs, unreleased demos, live tracks, and poems from the early years of The Moldy Peaches, and outline the tale of how the band came to be. Liner notes written by Adam and Kimya detail the stories behind each track and rare photos included in the packaging help to illustrate the life and times of the duo when they were young. - Adam Green and Kimya Dawson originally crossed paths at an open mic night in Mount Kisco, New York in the early 90s.

This compilation brings together early recordings from 1994 to 1999, documenting the evolution from bedroom tapes and ultra-DIY demos to the quirky, disarmingly honest songwriting that would later make the band a cult favorite. Expect rough-edged production, tape hiss and intimate, unpolished performances that highlight the duo's unique mix of naivety, dark humor and emotional directness.
Musically, the LP moves between acoustic anti-folk, noisy indie rock fragments and absurdist miniatures that feel like secret diary entries set to music. The songs are short, catchy in an off-kilter way, and full of surreal, sometimes confrontational lyrics that became a trademark of The Moldy Peaches. For collectors and fans of underground indie, this record functions both as a historical document and a standalone listening experience, showing how the band's unmistakable aesthetic was born long before any studio polish. The analog LP format underlines the archival character: the warmth of vinyl suits the lo-fi textures and gives these early tracks a physical presence that digital files can't replicate.
The Moldy Peaches, founded around the core duo of Adam Green and Kimya Dawson, became one of the key names of the New York anti-folk scene. They are best known to a wider audience for their self-titled debut album and for songs that later appeared in independent films and on influential playlists, helping to spread the anti-folk sound beyond its niche. Their blend of child-like melodies, subversive lyrics and casual duets influenced a wave of singer-songwriters and indie bands who embraced vulnerability and imperfection as an aesthetic choice. "Origin Story: 1994-1999" shines a light on where that distinctive voice came from, before the band's breakthrough and international recognition.
Org Music, the label behind this LP, is known for its dedication to high-quality vinyl releases, archival projects and carefully curated reissues across genres such as punk, jazz, alternative and classic rock. They frequently work from original sources where available, placing great emphasis on sound quality, faithful artwork and durable pressings, making their editions attractive both to audiophiles and collectors. With "Origin Story: 1994-1999", Org Music continues its tradition of preserving important, sometimes overlooked chapters of music history and presenting them in a form that does justice to the artists and to the fans who want something more than a standard digital release. | | | No. of tracks: |
