Critic Reviews

Klein unleashes a terrifying work of dark experimental music, molded from the debris of her electronic and R&B background and infused with the richness of sonic collage and the free-flowing essence of abstract music.

A singular, groundbreaking, remarkably rewarding experience.

On her most personal album to date, the UK experimental musician retains her focus on the ambiguities of the processed human voice while bringing traditional instrumentation to the fore.

100/100: I do think the sound collage aspect was really dope especially when it had semblance of a narrative. However, I didn't love the kind of abstract approach to the sequencing of the record, it felt disjointed at points and too all over the place to grasp at a true meaning of this album.
It's like an ancestral log - a metadata of generational trauma, healing and evolution supersized into bits and pieces of ambient, noise, industrial and drone experimentations. The album swings back and forth between sounding like ancient tribal incantations and futuristic rituals borne out of alien intelligence. Unlike other experimental noise albums, Klein is able to very visibly let you in on both the agony and ambition that comes with radical transformation.

Klein was one of the worst live shows I have ever seen in my life, saw her in Berlin... absolutely no respect for the audience. She played for like 30 mins and then put a playlist on and f'd off
