About debut album “Jesse’s Hotel”

A Canadian-born singer/songwriter with a laconic and cordial delivery, Klein blends brit-pop vocals and delta ruckus riffs with rusty lo-fi country. His debut album "Jesse's Hotel" is picturesque and sensual, cutting to scenes of lust to dreams of dark romance. The songs are a well-thought-out lyrical moan that coax the listener from pain to madness, creating a channel between a dreamful whisper and a sinful confession. The percussive guitar notes are a folky parallel to Klein’s haunting tenor voice, laid out looking down at the underbelly of the Americas. He is reverberating a style lonely and clear, like the sadness of Jim Morrison, the jangle of Neil Young, and the poise of Marc Bolan. With lead singles such as Sunshine (written for an ex-lover who died tragically) and What's My Name (questioning himself inside a dream) his new sound calls to the underground British scene and back south across the Atlantic to California. This album hides damaged personal conflict and darkness behind a thumping Western twang, transmitting a signal that will leave you blue. This self-released album features avant-garde four-time Juno winner, Warner Music Group, and former guitarist of the Sheepdogs Leot Hanson, who is proficient and dirty on lead guitar from track to track. Self-produced and co-produced by Aspen Beveridge of Saskat, also is a product of Warner Music Group, drenched the tracks as a talented multi-instrumentalist. The album was mastered in Toronto by Harry Hess.
