New Zealand popsmith Kimbra has unveiled her shimmering new visuals for "Goldmine".

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Kimbra said: "The process of gold is a fascinating metaphor for pain and suffering. Gold must be refined in the fire before it takes on its true character. Much like life itself, we must be tested and refined before we can give from the deepest part of ourselves. ["Goldmine" was written] to be like a mantra to me... in order to lift myself in hard times and serve as a reminder that infinite riches lie within me at all times... we hold immense power within us and I love how this is shown in the video through the use of all the different objects that manifest around me and, eventually, through me," Kimbra enthuses. "I often think about how the world is ultimately all energy and that we are creators of that energy every day."

The video is entirely CGI-free and totally stop-motion, and was filmed in an abandoned Berlin factory. It stars "about 400 square yards of heavy-duty aluminum foil and 700 polystyrene spikes".

The track features on Kimbra's 2014 LP The Golden Echo.
