Amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic, political unrest, and wildfiresraging across the western United States, Josh Klinghoffer hunkered down and found the inspiration to complete the sophomore album for his latest project, Pluralone. The , aptly titled InchI Don't Feel Well,Inch comes on the heels of Pluralone's critically acclaimed debut album, InchTo Be One With You.Inch In some ways, InchI Don't Feel WellInch 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 InchTo Be One With You,Inch 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, InchI Don't Feel WellInch 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.

Classic field recordings collected in Scotland in the early 1950's by Alan Lomax, Calum McLean and Hamish Henderson. Featuring native Scot musicians and singers, it was these recordings that led to the founding of the Scottish Folk Song Archive. All selections newly remastered.
