About

Scrawled in the margins of a William Carlos Williams poetry book dusted off in his late grandfather's study, S. Holden Jaffe found a note that had once been left for his grandmother: "I miss you already, and I haven't left yet." A simple gesture preserved for decades illuminated a reality that Jaffe now faced at present: a perpetual state of similar departures.

The years during which Jaffe began writing, recording and performing as Del Water Gap were ones fueled by the kind of hedonism that you can get away with when you're young and hungry in New York City. But at some point between exiting the pandemic and releasing his long-awaited debut album via Mom + Pop in 2021, that lifestyle had swiftly (and necessarily) vanished. Now midway through a global tour behind that record, he had found stability in the constant transience through his relationship and his sobriety. Still, the rigor of spending every night in a different hotel room was taking its expected toll, and by the time he was expected to put pen to paper for the next Del Water Gap project, Jaffe felt spiritually depleted.

Any trace of cynicism began to dissipate instantly upon his first session with producer Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, SZA) who encouraged Jaffe to abandon the self-conscious subtext of his previous work and make the record he's always wanted to make but never allowed himself to. That meant hoisting his sonic palette up into panoramic pop heights, first on "Losing You" and later on lead single "All We Ever Do Is Talk," a joyride hinging on massive existential doubt: "will we ever get that feeling again?" Can the cardinal jolt of young love last beyond its initial spark? Can one still achieve highs without the drugs? Are the best times really over, or are they still within reach?

I Miss You Already + I Haven't Left Yet doesn't wait for the answers, generating its own propulsive thrills through skyward hooks and resplendent imagery further punctuated by additional production from Mike Malchicoff (King Princess, Kanye West) and Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers, Manchester Orchestra), instrumental contributions from Clairo, Zach Dawes, Mason Stoops and Rob Humphreys, and a duet with Arlo Parks, the glowing "Quilt of Steam." As its striking cover suggests, I Miss You Already + I Haven't Left Yet presents a portrait of a man who is weathered but tenacious, standing upright and adamant on forging his way through an atmosphere of ennui with all his might.

    Absolutely incredible

    by Greatest show of all time on 11/16/23The Fillmore - San Francisco

    This was the greatest show. I think I’ve ever been to the energy brought to every song was insane. I kept thinking that it was the last song because of how much energy he put into each song and then it just kept going and it was over and over and over incredible.

    11/10

    by August on 11/6/23Varsity Theater - Minneapolis

    I work operations staff at multiple venues in the city and get to see my fair share of live shows. When I heard that Del Water Gap was coming to Minneapolis, I was ecstatic. I’m a major connoisseur of his recent album, IMYA+IHLY. It’s been three days since the show and I can confidently say this is the best show I have ever attended. I came out of the show with a new favorite artist and so much love for the fans and crew as well. I love to see artists that are genuinely authentic with their audiences and bring a connection alongside their performance. Holden nailed it! This show was a privilege to attend and I cant wait for future releases and shows!

    Genuinely the best concert I’ve been to

    by Kaya on 11/4/23Majestic Theatre - Madison

    DWG And Kristiane were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I have been to many concerts in my time but never have I felt the way I did that this one. They reminded me how much I love music and especially live music. DWG was electric from entrance onto the stage to exit. Absolutely amazing energy and made the crowd feel so special. Such an amazing show with great music and a very special intimacy. By the time he comes back I won’t live in this town anymore but I’d give anything to experience that again. Amazing artist.
