    At 42 minutes, Reasons begins to drag a bit, and it may not bring Klein the attention she enjoyed with her former band, but it is a sonically captivating and promising first effort that reveals itself a little more with each listen.

    Reasons to Live sounds like old summer afternoons.

    It’s when the pace slows that the record drags slightly, though Klein’s lyrics elevate even the mid-tempo songs.

    Forming an identity is a difficult task, and Reasons To Live is honest about the painful and revelatory nature of that process.

    So far, after a couple listens, the sound of this album is stunning...not original (what is these days?), but beautiful. It has the post punk angst of various generations of Grrrl rock combined with a melodic ethereal quality that for me works remarkably well… Expand
