Ahead of the release their new album Illuminator dropping on on August 23rd via Captured tracks, Gift have shared a new TJ Freda directed video for “Light Runner.” GIFT will be hitting the road ,including their headline run in the US and UK. All shows – including a hometown album release party at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom on September 20th.

On the video and song, TJ says “The album and song ‘Ray of Light’ by Madonna was a massive inspiration while recording Illuminator – I wanted to pay homage to the brilliant music video directed by one of my favorite directors Jonas Åkerlund. ‘Light Runner’ celebrates the triumph of emerging from a dark time while acknowledging the transformative power of overcoming it. It’s a testament to the euphoria of personal achievement.In 2023, during our first European tour, we were enthralled by the origins of 90s UK bands like Primal Scream, Massive Attack, and Oasis. Following a show in Glasgow, the promoters treated us to an underground Jungle/DnB rave, blowing our minds wide open.”
