Pluralone released “Feels Like I’ve Done Wrong” the latest single from his highly anticipated album A Drop In The Ocean, set for release on June 12, 2026 via Org Music. Accompanied by a video, the track offers another intimate glimpse into Josh Klinghoffer’s evolving solo vision, marked by raw emotional honesty and thoughtful restraint.
“It’s always good to examine your reactions,” Klinghoffer explains. “At one time, I’m sure I could’ve been accused of ranting and raving from time to time. I might not do that as much anymore, but the impulse is still there. I hope to always keep an eye on why. This is a reminder.”
Previously, Klinghoffer teased A Drop In The Ocean with the song “Ranting and Raving.” The song layers soft electric guitar with acoustic textures and soaring synths as Klinghoffer sings, “I hear you’re always ranting and raving / Making up for having no one to count on / Telling myself I’m wrong now.” That shifting “you” — sometimes an external figure, sometimes a mirror — threads through much of the album, reflecting on self-doubt, accountability, and the quiet work of personal growth.
“Ranting and Raving” followed lead single “Peer Into Your Dreams,” which premiered via a SPIN Magazine feature. Together, the tracks signal a focused return for Pluralone, Klinghoffer’s solo project that stands apart from his high-profile collaborative work with Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Elton John & Brandi Carlile, Jane’s Addiction, and others.
On A Drop In The Ocean, his fourth album under the Pluralone name and first since 2022’s This Is The Show, Klinghoffer strips things back. Many songs began on acoustic guitar, a grounding choice for a multi-instrumentalist often surrounded by sonic possibilities. The result is a warm, immediate, songwriter-driven collection that prioritizes voice, lyrics, and intimate arrangements over dense production.
Some tracks, like “I Feel Like I’ve Done Wrong,” trace back to 2022, while others such as “Give” have simmered for nearly two decades. The album’s closing song, “Sadly,” preserves an iPhone voice memo of Klinghoffer composing at the piano in real time—an unpolished moment he chose not to rerecord. “I knew I’d never outdo the innocence of that moment,” he says. In it, he sings, “I’m gonna try / No idea why / It’s a drop in the ocean,” capturing the album’s spirit: creation as an act of persistence amid impermanence and distraction.
Loss and reflection run deep. “I Hope You Knew,” quietly released on March 25 (the anniversary of friend Taylor Hawkins’ passing), confronts grief directly. “I Don’t Want to Let You Go” builds toward a hopeful, lighter-in-the-air moment. Throughout, Klinghoffer questions perception, memory, and right action, asking in “Peer Into Your Dreams,” “Isn’t it freeing / A slight change in belief?”
For this record, Klinghoffer expanded the Pluralone world by enlisting longtime collaborator Eric Palmquist as producer and welcoming writer Chelsea Hodson for backing vocals on select tracks. He recorded at his own NowSpace and at Palmquist Studios in El Sereno, California. Songs like “Give,” built around Nashville tuning in an unconventional way, add atmospheric depth and a sense that Klinghoffer is charting fresh territory.
“My whole life has been about learning to enjoy the process rather than rushing to get to the result,” Klinghoffer reflects. After the longest gap yet between Pluralone albums, that patience manifests in the record’s lived-in intimacy and urgency. At a time when he says he no longer feels he has “all the time in the world,” these songs feel like essential dispatches from the quiet center.
Pluralone – Bio Josh Klinghoffer has spent most of his life moving—between bands, studios, tours, and collaborations—but the songs he creates for Pluralone can feel more isolated, mysterious, nonlinear, and newly urgent. In A Drop In The Ocean, he returns to basics while pushing into new emotional and sonic spaces, proving that even a drop in the ocean can create meaningful ripples.
