• Track Listing

Amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic, political unrest, and wildfires

raging across the western United States, Josh Klinghoffer hunkered

down and found the inspiration to complete the sophomore album for

his latest project, Pluralone. The release, aptly titled "I Don't Feel Well,"

comes on the heels of Pluralone's critically acclaimed debut album, "To

Be One With You." In some ways, "I Don't Feel Well" seems like a natural

progression of the Pluralone project, just as dynamic and fluid in it's

arrangements, but more focused in it's execution. Similar to "To Be One

With You," Klinghoffer leans heavily on piano and keyboards for the

foundation of most songs, with some outliers such as the anthemic

guitar-heavy track, 'Mother Nature.' The album weaves sparse rhythmic

moments with grandiose arrangements of strings and layered vocals,

showcasing Klinghoffer's impressive range and signature falsetto. By all

accounts, "I Don't Feel Well" is a reflection of the trying times we find

ourselves in; often dark and reflective, but with a glimmer of hope and

underlying themes of solidarity, something we could use a bit more of

these days.
