JIMKATA MAKE A MUCH NEEDED RETURN WITH THEIR NEW SINGLE "BONFIRES"

After taking an almost three year hiatus, Three pieced synth-electro pop band, JIMKATA, unveiled their new divine single “Bonfires” accompanied by a stunning music video. “Bonfires” is the first of many releases with an album approaching in the near future. With the release of their new single, we can tell that JIMKATA is not afraid to stray off the path and discover a new sound. 

This tranquilizing and powerful track has a nostalgic feel to it, making me want to relive my childhood all over again. Between the melody, diverse lyrics, and genuine passion, Bonfires, like 
all other JIMKATA tracks, integrate many musical facets and showcase the originality of the band. 

From the cultivating synths to the melodic lyrics, this single is like a breath of fresh air and creates a moment of ease. The music video does not stray far from this nostalgic feeling as the visuals are similar to a coming of age film, making the single have a lively feeling of being on an indie movie soundtrack, like Perks of Being a Wallflower or Stand By Me. JIMKATA really hit the nail on the head with this feeling as this coming of age anthem tells a story of the vulnerability you feel when facing uncertain times and the reflexive tendency to seek out the comfort of nostalgia that happens as a result. 

When gigs make a much needed return, we can't wait to catch the band playing “Bonfires” as well as their full upcoming album. After a two year hiatus, this may be a refreshing and new beginning for JIMKATA and as we count down the days until their album debut, we can’t help but to be excited for the new singles to follow. “Bonfires” was a thrilling peek into what the band has coming up, and we can’t wait to see what they have hidden up their sleeves.
