GIFT, the New York psych-pop band, received recognition as a Band To Watch in anticipation of their forthcoming album Illuminator on Captured Tracks. Presenting another glimpse of the record, “Later” showcases the signature crisp and sleek style of GIFT, blending TJ Freda’s melodic whispers with a dynamic beat and rich post-Madchester elements.
Reflecting on the creation of Illuminator, I found myself immersed in intense emotions that I was hesitant to let go of. “Later” emerges as one of the darkest tracks I’ve produced. It served as a cathartic experience, delving into more profound themes and capturing the essence of surrendering to the overpowering feeling of life slipping away.
Enjoy the video for “Later” directed by Sophia Feuer and Jessica Gurewitz below.
Illuminator will be released on 8/23 through Captured Tracks.
