We are thrilled to announce Del Water Gap as the newest addition to the Mom + Pop family. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Holden Jaffe began Del Water Gap while attending NYU. The songwriter and solo artist has already amassed a cult-like following with more than 44 MILLION streams worldwide and a slew of collaborations all before a debut album. Most recently he was featured on two songs “(Does It Feel Slow?)” and “New Song'' from Maggie Rogers' 2020 album Notes from the Archive: Recordings 2011-2016. In 2020 he collaborated with Claud on their track “My Body,” which Nylon called “an intimate and bittersweet ballad.”
Today, Del Water Gap releases new single “Sorry I Am” as his debut release on the label. The deeply confessional track is accompanied by an alluring music video filmed in a picturesque desert in Joshua Tree directed by Angela Ricciardi. “Sorry I Am” follows his breakout 2020 track “Ode To A Conversation Stuck In Your Throat,” which racked up over 5.2 million streams on Spotify alone. It was the soundtrack to actors Margaret Qualley and Kaitlyn Dever’s summer pandemic dance party, and earned praise from Vogue UK as an “ear-worm”.
Holden is inspired by “romantic encounters and dimly lit rooms”— an inspiration evident in the lush sonic landscapes and caressing lyricism found in his music. Although his work has garnered mass-appeal, listening to Del Water Gap feels like a truly intimate experience. For this reason and so many more, Mom + Pop Music is beyond excited to make this announcement & welcome him into our family.
