Dutch artist Gold­ki­mono (Mar­ti­jn ‘Tienus’ Koni­j­nen­burg) has just released a com­pelling new sin­gle called Life­time via Camp Kimono Records.

The over­all feel of Life­time is decep­tive. Gold­ki­mono presents us with an uplift­ing track infused with a pleas­ing­ly chunky rhythm and sun­ny riffs but there’s a brood­ing lay­er of more seri­ous thoughts going on behind the scenes. 

Says Koni­j­nen­burg: ”Life­time” reflects on the chaos and dis­con­nec­tion in the mod­ern world, from glob­al ten­sions to per­son­al strug­gles. The song touch­es on themes of spir­i­tu­al aware­ness, uni­ty, and the quest for inner peace in a world full of dig­i­tal distractions.”

The song is accom­pa­nied by an inno­v­a­tive video from visu­al direc­tor Cal Bain, below.

They record­ed the song live at Mar­tin Gar­rix’ STMPD stu­dio and the sound you can hear along­side the per­cus­sion is a barstool that their drum­mer start­ed to play around with. 

The new sin­gle is tak­en from his upcom­ing album, to be released lat­er this year and co-pro­duced by Mar­ti­jn and Tim Bran (Lon­don Gram­mar, Birdy).
