Alphabutt is an album of children's music by Kimya Dawson, recorded in February 2007, recorded with Hidden Vagenda producer Jason Carmer. The Alphabutt sessions were completed on February 21, 2008, and the full album was released on K Records in September 2008.[citation needed]

Nine of the ten original songs have also appeared on self-released EP entitled Alphabutt E.Pee sold on Kimya's world tour in 2007.[4] Each copy of the EP came in a unique hand-decorated folder of colored cardboard held together by a string. The folder contained an Alphabutt CD-R, a handwritten fact sheet and nine sheets of drawings on pink paper - one for each song. The flipside of the folder reads "made with love at the great crap factory."

Against previous plans, the retail CD did not come with a children's book: "I decided to just release it as a cd, because then it will be out much faster. I am going to make a book for kids another time. It will take forever to get a book completed but the cd is so close to being done. It is a crazy album! I am really excited about it."[5]
