GIFT (giftbandnyc) announce their forthcoming debut album 'Momentary Presence' and share sugary new single 'Gumball Garden':
GIFT treasures every moment like a present. The Brooklyn-based quintet’s dedication to savoring every second emerges on their new track, “Gumball Garden.” The song is the first single from their forthcoming debut album,, out Oct. 14 via Dedstrange, a new label co-founded by Oliver Ackermann of A Place to Bury Strangers and Death by Audio.
The swirling shoegaze of “Gumball Garden,” baked up by bandleader TJ Freda, is complemented by the darker dream-pop and krautrock influences he throws into the mix. Freda’s home-engineering gives the song a candied quality, as the sugarcoated synthesizers and confectionery riffs melt together. Managing to come across as heavy-handed, yet so sweet it could give you a toothache, the song drips honey.
“I wrote this song way before most people knew what the word pandemic meant,” Freda says of the song. “I had a dream in late 2019 where I woke up one day and there was nobody on earth. I was walking around looking for any forms of life to no avail. It was sad but also strangely peaceful. When the pandemic happened, this song took on a whole new meaning. We did wake up one day and the streets were empty. Everyone had gone away. This song is about finding peace in solitude.
