Description
In 2020, an unlikely time to start a band, especially for musicians who'd never played together, New York rock quintet GIFT emerged with a bold new sound. Their 2022 debut album 'Momentary Presence' showed their creative depth. Now, 'Illuminator', released on Aug. 23 by the respected New York independent label Captured Tracks, is the payoff of their growing musical and human chemistry. While influenced by label forerunners like Beach Fossils, DIIV and Wild Nothing, GIFT brings these elements into fresh, sleek, danceable and mesmerizing music. GIFT members, involved in various aspects of the New York scene, introduced 'Illuminator' with 'Wish Me Away', a perfect bridge from 'Momentary Presence'. On tracks like 'Light Runner' and 'Going In Circles', vocalist TJ Freda shows new - found confidence in pop. The album explores themes of time, change, love and heartbreak. With a diverse tracklist, 'Illuminator' is set to be the soundtrack of your life.
