Goldfish24 pioneered a new wave of hyper-popped punk with ‘The Pit of My Life’

Goldfish24’s sonic riot of innovative expression, The Pit of My Life, starts with a raw, rugged, and intimate folk-punk overture before the melodicism sinks into a genre-fluid production that toys with the aesthetics of trap and hyperpop to animate an infectious earworm which sets the stage for the artist to emerge as one of the fiercest punk pioneers of his generation.

While the emotions in the single may weigh heavy, there isn’t an inch of space in the evocative riptide of a release for self-pity. Instead, the track is the epitome of running with your idiosyncrasies, embracing the chaos of the world, and finding resilience through irreverently witty tongue-in-cheek humour.

The Pit of My Life is the second chapter in the story Goldfish24 is narrating with his upcoming project, ERRORS IN COMMUNICATION. The single takes the first step in picking yourself up and coming to terms with the fact that life will always suck sometimes, and that’s okay. The mantra reverberates through the motifs as much as the lyricality, attesting to Goldfish24’s ability to fully visualise his psyche through sound. Brace yourself for the visceral vindication.

The Pit of My Life was officially released on August 16; stream the single on SoundCloud now.
