Description:

Surpriseâ??psychedelic Brooklyn, NY quintet GIFT unwrap what Rolling Stone calls â??a portal to another dimensionâ? on their debut album, Momentary Presence, out October 14, 2022. On GIFTâ??S kaleidoscopic first long-player, bandleader TJ Freda & co. uncap the lens to project their vibrant spectrum of psych, krautrock, dream pop, post-punk, noise rock and electronica upon the vacant surfaces of the mindâ??inviting listeners to, in the words of countercultural guru Ram Dass, â??be here now.â? â??[Itâ??s about] being with yourself, not by yourself,â? says Freda. â??You are never alone. You are always with yourself.â? Momentary Presence exists, and thatâ??s enough. There is no beginning and no end. From the percolating, in medias res intro of album opener â??When You Feel It Come Aroundâ? through the swirling, gliding and expansive conclusion of â??Here And Now (Time Floats By),â? GIFT retains the element of cosmic surprise. Lead single â??Gumball Gardenâ? opens the gate to a technicolor shoegazing fantasy island dipped in syrupy synths and topped with powdered fuzz riffs to deliver a delectable confection of neo-psychedelic euphoria fueled by dank strains of effervescent psych-prog. On â??Share the Present,â? crisp drum machines and airy â??80s synthesizers make space for Fredaâ??s refrain, delivered in a pillow-soft voice that â??feels like a caress.â? â??Lost For Youâ? is a rolling, bittersweet psych-folk breakup song driven by jangly acoustic strumming and Fredaâ??s vivid palette of synthesizer and organ. And on the droning, slow burning â??Feather,â? Freda sings of â??psychic destabilization and the quest for balanceâ? from a patchwork nest of indie electronica held together by Fripp- and Beatlesque lead guitar, plus Fredaâ??s hallucinatory bedroom production work. Treat yourself to Momentary Presence, the debut album from GIFT at finer record stores and streaming apps on October 14, 2022â??only on Dedstrange. -
