about

Sincere Gifts' debut release, Ghost of America, is a skin-shedding reaction to the rapid upheaval across nearly all aspects of life in America. Rife with dark humor, but fuelled by sincere heartsickness, the songs touch on our national psychological despair (“Ghost of America”), diminished hopes for the future (“Fortunate Man”), corporate manipulation of individuals (“Monsanto v. Santo: The Boardroom Speaks”), the rise of white nationalism (“The Nationalist Anthem”), and rioting police (“Police Riot”).

While the band operates under the positive theme of "magic is real, you are loved," the intense realities of this moment in history required a direct response, hence this first batch of thematically darker material. These songs act as an artistic and spiritual colonic, arriving as hope glimmers precariously on the horizon.

Along with our long-time, Russia-based visual art collaborator, Deems, we are excited to launch new material into the world together again. Thanks for listening and watching!
