One of the most intriguing and unique sounds in music today, Nigerian-British artist Klein uses drone, ambient, as well as elements of R&B, to create multi-layered tracks on her latest album, ‘marked.’ Klein’s range cannot be understated. She creates a slow-building, grainy collection of beats layered over voice samples, classical piano, and apocalyptic, siren-like drones–best exemplified on “Blow the Whistle,” a near five-minute track that satisfyingly builds into a unique, industrial drumbeat. With enthralling and dizzying audio panning, ‘marked’ defies and pushes sound to its extreme while having fun and experimenting with genre. Klein’s goal has been to make music without an audience in mind, and this album perfectly exemplifies the pure musical exploration of that sentiment.
