In February 2007, Kimya Dawson started recording a collection of songs for babies with Hidden Vagenda producer Jason Carmer. 10 songs have been done in this first recording session, 9 of those made in on this self-released tour EP which had been sold on Kimya's world tour in spring/summer 2007.

Every copy of this EP is "handcrafted and unique". It comes in a hand-decorated folder of colored cardboard, held together by a string. The folder contains the 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"."

The Alphabutt sessions were completed on February 21, 2008, and the full album is expected to be released on K Records in August 2008. Against previous plans this retail CD will now most likely 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."
