Dawn Wiener is a fictitious character from the cult film Welcome to the Dollhouse.

Nicole stated on Tumblr, "So I decided to take all these songs I've written but have never done anything with and put them into a collection called 'Ode to Dawn Weiner: Embarrassing Love Songs' because we all have a Dawn Weiner in us, and I usually feel like Dawn Weiner when I have a crush on someone."

Trivia[]

  • Ode To Dawn Wiener: Embarrassing Love Songs is the first album of Nicole Dollanganger's to have been released on vinyl.
  • On her bandcamp, Nicole states that the album was all "recorded in [her] bedroom/bathroom" [1]
  • Nicole stated on Tumblr around the time of the album's release that the album is just a collection of songs she had written/recorded and had never done anything with prior to the album's release.
  • An acoustic version of Rampage was recorded for the album but wasn't included in the tracklist, likely due to the fact Nicole didn't like it.
