The best kept secret of Titus Andronicus is Amy Klein's voice. It's got the purity of a waterfall that cascades over you. It's got earth-shaking vibrato and shocking emotional depth. It's got all the passion of Patti Smith and all the solace of Nick Drake. And like those poets who captured the spirit of the 60's and 70's, Klein is a poet who seems timeless--or rather, outside time.

A graduate of Harvard with a degree in poetry writing, Klein
demonstrates a remarkable ability to turn words into images, and songs into myths. Her work spans the genres of 60's folk and freak folk, country and rock and roll. Her first full length album, "I Know What You Want," to be released in February 2011, represents the work of a
master songwriter with an impressive range.

The thread running through all the songs is a sparkling intelligence and a real sense of emotional urgency--a vital need to write, to sing, and to be heard. As Tom Tom Magazine writes, in Amy Klein, there are "echoes" of "melodic styles of Joanna Newsom," but "without that
element of kitsch." Instead, "it's very genuine."
