GIFT floats into our hearts on the lovely wings of “Feather,” the second single and music video from their much-anticipated debut LP, Momentary Presence—out October 14, 2022.
Pre-Order Momentary Presence here:
On the slow burning psychedelic ballad, Bandleader TJ Freda sings of “psychic destabilization and the quest for balance” from a patchwork nest of warm lo-fi electronica held together with hallucinatory bedroom production work plus a ton of love.
“I wrote ‘Feather’ after waking up from a lucid dream,” says Freda. “It’s about trying to help someone who can’t be helped, but in the end, you want to accept them for who they are and love them no matter what. It’s one of the most personal songs on the record.”
In the video, director Dylan Brannigan does his own dance of reality, performing magic acts of audiovisual alchemy to transform GIFT’s metaphysical disturbances into a series of surreal vignettes; each rendered in hazy, saturated hues like a contraband bootleg VHS of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain.
““Feather is Inspired by Jung’s theories of collective unconscious and its archetypes - A man, representing The Nine of Swords tarot card enters the astral plane where he undergoes a transformative experience. Incorporating themes of botanical consciousness, individuation, and harmony, Feather is a portal into the mind of a character on the edge of a new frontier. “
On the astral plane, our story follows the figure of the Nine of Swords Tarot Card as he undergoes a process of individuation.

Lyrics:
Feather
Oh nothings wrong
I want you to
Know when I try to find
The distance in your eyes
Nothings wrong
I can’t tell you
Feather it to your mind
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Oh no, said too much
I can’t find you
Here when I close my eyes
The voices float inside
Nothings wrong
You can’t tell me
Feather it to your mind
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Oh my, brother
A beautiful mind
Laughs in the silent night
Wake up to close your eyes
Nothings wrong
A fallen angel
Feather it to your mind
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
Feather it to your mind
Outside, Inside
