Lifetime (Klein album)

Lifetime is the debut studio album by British experimental electronic musician Klein. It was released on August 30, 2019, on the Hyperdub record label. The album is characterized by its deconstructed soundscapes, incorporating elements of grime, R&B, and noise music. Lifetime is notable for its challenging and unconventional structure, foregoing traditional song formats in favor of abstract, fragmented compositions. Critics have praised its innovative approach to sound design and its exploration of themes related to identity, memory, and displacement. The album features guest appearances and production contributions from artists such as Sega Bodega and Charlotte Patmore. Prior to its release, Klein had built a reputation through mixtapes and EPs characterized by a similarly experimental and abstract aesthetic. Lifetime is considered a significant work in Klein's discography and a notable example of contemporary experimental electronic music.
