Klein pushes musical boundaries with her latest release, Marked, an unsettling collection that seamlessly transitions between ambient drone, jazzy undertones, doom metal, and fragmented hip-hop rhythms. This avant-garde experience is akin to navigating a haunted house where dissociative sound collages and haunting vocal snippets serve as both artistic commentary and a means of escape, fitting for both a cozy night in or an immersive art installation.
