Amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic, political unrest, and wildfiresraging across the western United States, Josh Klinghoffer hunkereddown and found the inspiration to complete the sophomore album forhis latest project, Pluralone. The release, aptly titled "I Don't Feel Well,"comes on the heels of Pluralone's critically acclaimed debut album, "ToBe One With You." In some ways, "I Don't Feel Well" seems like a naturalprogression of the Pluralone project, just as dynamic and fluid in it'sarrangements, but more focused in it's execution. Similar to "To Be OneWith You," Klinghoffer leans heavily on piano and keyboards for thefoundation of most songs, with some outliers such as the anthemicguitar-heavy track, 'Mother Nature.' The album weaves sparse rhythmicmoments with grandiose arrangements of strings and layered vocals,showcasing Klinghoffer's impressive range and signature falsetto. By allaccounts, "I Don't Feel Well" is a reflection of the trying times we findourselves in; often dark and reflective, but with a glimmer of hope andunderlying themes of solidarity, something we could use a bit more ofthese days.
