About this project

Sean Slade (producer of Dresden Dolls, Radiohead.....etc) is excited to work with me and I am REALLY excited to work with him. We are mutual fans and this is one of those moments where all my hard work seems to be paying off with a great opportunity (for more hard work!)

Sean has graciously found a way to make the recording as cheap as possible for me, but it's still more money than I have. So I'm kickstarting my recording with a tiny little fundraiser for this one day of recording with an amazing producer!

After this one day of recording Sean and I will spend the next few months planning the next phase which will lead to an album (or two!)

I need $500 at the very minimum to make this work, any more money donated will go into the album fund and will help more than I can possibly express.

Since my home is filled with amazing things I have decided to send care packages to those who care and support my musical career. I wish I could spend all day everyday making packages since it is such a rewarding thing to do for others. And I hear I send great packages!

On the side bar to the right you will see the various rewards you will get for donating - beyond my eternal gratitude and your own satisfaction at helping create the world you want to live in by supporting the art that makes the world tolerable, vital, beautiful.

Follow me to get updates on the recording process - videos, songs, tweets!:

Kim Boekbinder (of Vermillion Lies)

Straightpin Oakland, CA

Kim "Vermillion" Boekbinder has spent the last four years writing, recording, and touring with the internationally acclaimed band, Vermillion Lies. Having performed hundreds of shows across the world - headlining such venues as the Gogol Club in Moscow, Teatro Circo de Braga in Portugal and San Francisco's Great American Music Hall - Kim is currently working on her first solo release and congruent tour.

Kim's solo music is cut from a constantly evolving swath of experiences, sounds, and layered stories; A sound that she calls "retro-electric-snap-crackle-pop". With an arsenal of songs, a hollow body electric guitar, a looping pedal, and a voice of stunning clarity, Kim's shows are all carefully crafted and completely unique.
