I GIVE MY FRIENDS FLOWERS is the music of Jacob Klein and friends — blending indie soul, lo-fi folk, dream pop, and alt hip-hop into something atmospheric, melodic, and deeply human.
Jacob began making records at age 10, growing up between his father’s hi-fi audio shop and his mother’s garden — learning early to attune to sound, space, and feeling.
By high school he was on tour, opening for Mac Miller, Selena Gomez, and Maroon 5, before studying at Duquesne and Belmont and later apprenticing in songwriting and recording alongside Jules Shear, Ronnie Spector, Larry Crane, and Leo Sidran.
The years since have been spent in studios, on the road, and in quiet rooms — absorbing everything.
I GIVE MY FRIENDS FLOWERS is where it all comes together.
I GIVE MY FRIENDS FLOWERS is for late nights, car rides, and open windows.
Blending classic songwriting with a fluid, analog-meets-digital production style, what began as recordings with friends has grown into a broader world — an evolving catalogue of songs, visuals, and immersive works. One-of-one merch. Performances. Shared moments.
I GIVE MY FRIENDS FLOWERS is an invitation, an offering.
Made with friends, for friends.
For anyone you love.

Release Date AUGUST 21 2026
‘A RIVER RUNS
THROUGH ME’ - EP
Release Date JULY 17 2026
Six-song EP and first chapter of LP "DOGSTAR 1" blending alt-pop, dream-folk, and electronic-soul with colorful synths, organic/electronic drum textures, and reverb-heavy vocal production. Atmospheric, melodic, and emotionally direct — suited for late-night drives, reflective listening, and solo headphone moments. Led by focus single "Pollen." FFO Bon Iver, Toro y Moi, Sampha, and Bladee.
"With 'pollen,' i give my friends flowers offers more than an engaging indie-electronic track—it’s a thoughtful meditation on growth, resilience, and the quiet courage required to heal. It’s the kind of song that rewards repeat listens, revealing new emotional textures each time."
- Hella Fuzz
"The song carries weariness without surrendering warmth, and its electronic movement prevents reflection from hardening into stillness.
As the opening doorway into A River Runs Through Me and the larger DOGSTAR sequence, it offers a persuasive statement of intent. Here, i give my friends flowers is learning how to let grief pass through without allowing it to take everything with it."
- No Transmission
“'pollen' feels like the perfect distillation of the project’s broader mission: a search for stability amidst constant flux."

‘EVERY MOMENT
SOMETHING
BEAUTIFUL
DIES’ - single
Release Date MAY 1 2026
"A lushly absorbing pop sucess with soulful heartfelt appeal,"
- Obscure Sound
"...the everyday details that anchor the lyrics represent one of their most powerful attributes. Elements like the sofa or the drama unfolding on the television screen transform the comfort of home into the backdrop for an internal existential turmoil,"
- Zone Nights
The first single from upcoming LP "DOGSTAR 1" blends alt/indie pop, rock and dream pop with washed vocals, atmospheric synth layers, and a steady, driving groove. Melancholic but propulsive, it’s suited for late-night drives, reflective listening, running, walking, and time outdoors.
