GIFT are a strange band. Brooklyn Anglophiles. Second album Illuminator finds them throwing odd shapes from a bygone age. Like some Blackburn hopefuls warming up for a support slot with The Charlatans in the early Nineties.
It's a very difficult album to dislike but is such an odd synthesis of Shoegaze and Baggy that I left the record a few songs in and found myself listening to Nowhere instead. It felt a bit more authentic somehow.
