Del Water Gap releases his sophomore album I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet featuring a new video for single “NFU”. “NFU” is an aching, cavernous track that was inspired by a dream Del Water Gap had about running into an ex at a mutual friend’s funeral. “NFU” is accompanied by a fuzzed out, cinematic black and white video directed by Angela Riccardi (Albert Hammond Jr., Angel Olsen, Sasami, etc.).
Del Water Gap says, “It’s about the death by a thousand cuts of a breakup - the acres of minute details, unknowable by anyone outside the relationship, that begin to fade when a love ends.”
Del Water Gap will embark on a headline tour that features some of his biggest shows to date including a SOLD OUT night at NYC’s Brooklyn Steel on October 21st, LA’s The Fonda on November 17th and Austin City Limits.
I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet is a genuine sonic pleasure with soulful melodies and a haunting electronic landscape filtered through a modern pop lens. It paints a spell-binding, audacious picture of sexuality and substance use that draws on the gritty 60s rockstar glamor detailed by writers like Joan Didion and Eve Babitz. The album was produced by Del Water Gap alongside Sammy Witte (Harry Styles, Halsey, Lennon Stella), and Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers). Clairo plays clarinet on “Gone In Seconds,” while Arlo Parks features on and co-wrote “Quilt of Steam.” The album title was inspired by a note addressed to his grandmother that was found in a book of William Carlos Williams’ poetry, by his late grandfather.
