"This time last year, the south London artist spiralled through a procession of evocative flexes, rasped through Auto-Tune over a mind-expanding loop of pitch-shifted wailing, then slung a black guitar over her shoulder to shred through a lacerating noise solo with a joyous smile. People were trying to beat me up! she says, giggling as she reflects on her appearance. I was just being myself! Some people liked it, some people didn't, some people hated it so much they would send me emails."
"For every Caroline Polachek collaboration or feature on a Mike record, you can expect a frazzled drone album recorded in a single session to be put up for Grammy consideration or the quiet, Bandcamp-only release of one of her once in a blue moon rap songs. For every unsettling rap video she directs or grinning appearance alongside Earl Sweatshirt,"
Klein is a south London artist whose output is wildly varied and polarising. She fuses Auto-Tune, pitch-shifted loops, noise guitar solos and rasped vocals to produce experimental records alongside mainstream collaborations. Her portfolio includes work with Caroline Polachek, features on Mike records, appearances with Earl Sweatshirt, and quiet Bandcamp rap releases. She records frazzled drone albums in single sessions, sometimes submits unconventional pieces for award consideration, and pursues DIY methods while being self-taught with limited formal qualifications. Klein treats reality TV as a serious influence and expands her practice into film, theatre, and diverse cultural projects.
