MXDWN Enjoys The Borderline “Lullaby-like” New LP From Pluralone

MXDWN is out with a review of A Drop In The Ocean, the newest album from Pluralone, the solo project of Josh Klinghoffer (Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bicycle Thief). They say, “While the album highlights his guitar work, it also emphasizes his strengths as a vocalist and songwriter. The compositions are carefully constructed yet still vulnerable, at times bordering on lullaby-like. Soft vocals and delicate instrumentation create moments of calm that still carry emotional weight.”

“Much of A Drop in the Ocean centers,” MXDWN continues, “on the passage of time and the feeling of being tethered to a past version of oneself. Listening to the album feels like watching sand fall through an hourglass; everything continues moving forward even when you are not ready to let go. It evokes the sense of chasing something that no longer exists, grasping only at air while time marks what has changed. Time, as the only remaining evidence of what is gone, forces both Pluralone and the listener to reckon with change. As the album unfolds, the complexity of grief gradually surfaces beneath each track.” Read more here and get the album – out now via ORG Music – spinning today.
