In addition to his collaborative work, Klinghoffer has pursued a solo career under the pseudonym Pluralone, a name that originally served as a working title for Dot Hacker. He has released three solo albums: 'To Be One with You' in two thousand nineteen, 'I Don't Feel Well' in two thousand twenty, and 'This Is the Show' in two thousand twenty-two, along with several non-album singles and B-sides, further solidifying his place in the music industry.
