GIFT have released a new song, ‘Later’, off their upcoming album Illuminator. It follows the previously unveiled singles ‘Wish Me Away’ and ‘Going in Circles’. Check out its accompanying video, directed by Sophia Feuer and the band’s own Jessica Gurewitz, below.
“While writing Illuminator I found myself clinging to intense emotions, reluctant to release them,” vocalist/guitarist TJ Freda said in a statement. “‘Later’ stands out as one of the darkest songs I’ve made. Making it was cathartic, diving into darker themes. The song explores surrendering to the overwhelming sensation of life slipping away before my eyes.”
Guerwitz, who also co-wrote the song, added: “I wanted to explore the internal confusion that comes with the passage of time. I was reading a lot of horror stories while we shot this and I wanted to bring those to the screen by exploring unknown places and questioning timelines. Working with Sophia Feuer (Director, DP, Editor) was amazing and she made it possible to bring this vision to life.”
Illuminator arrives August 23 via Captured Tracks.
