Dedstrange

Gift is a German artist who originated in Augsburg, Germany circa 1969 as Phallus Dei. They changed their name to Gift after securing a record contract with Telefunken. With a rich history and unique sound, Gift has become an influential figure in the music industry.
Originally known as Phallus Dei, Gift quickly gained recognition for their talent and distinctive style. Their evolution into Gift marked a new chapter in their career, allowing them to further explore their musical creativity.
Since then, Gift has captivated audiences with their powerful performances and thought-provoking lyrics. Their music transcends genres, blending elements of rock, alternative, and experimental sounds to create a truly unique sonic experience. With each release, they continue to push boundaries and challenge conventional norms.

On GIFT's kaleidoscopic first long-player, bandleader TJ Freda and 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 mind — inviting listeners to, in the words of countercultural guru Ram Dass, "be here now." "[It's about] being with yourself, not by yourself," says Freda. "You are never alone. You are always with yourself." Momentary Presence exists, and that's enough. There is no beginning and no end. From the percolating, in medias res intro of album opener "When You Feel It Come Around" through the swirling, gliding and expansive conclusion of "Here And Now (Time Floats By)," GIFT retains the element of cosmic surprise. Lead single "Gumball Garden" 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 fuelled by dank strains of effervescent psych- prog.
