The Austin based singer-songwriter has created a debut album, ‘Everyone Loves A Winner’ that he claims is pretty optimistic, but only in the sense that “no matter how bad things are, everything could probably still be worse”.

‘Another Breakdown’ is the first single to be taken from the album, with both releases surprisingly available on the same day (02.06.03). Klein sounds as though he has been smoking glass, with his lacerating vocal evoking the sandpaper larynx of Tom Waits. He shares with Malin, the desire to break away from the traditionally acoustic confines of singer-songwriters, by embellishing the country-tinged tune with some squalling guitar.
The bonus tracks showcase both sides of Klein’s songwriting style, ‘We Were 6 And 9’ is a beautifully simple song, all whispered vocal, pedal steel, and subtle acoustic guitar. Conversely, ‘Ballad Of The Average White Boy Part II’ is Klein’s primal scream therapy after the constraints of gentle country rock.
