Del Water Gap - Del Water Gap

The self-titled debut album from Del Water Gap introduces the full creative vision of songwriter and producer S. Holden Jaffe, capturing the emotional immediacy that has made him one of indie-pop’s most compelling rising voices.

The record features his breakout 2020 single “Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat” — praised as an “earworm” by Vogue UK — alongside standout tracks like “Sorry I Am,” “Hurting Kind,” and “Better Than I Know Myself.” These songs blend raw lyricism with shimmering indie-pop production, balancing intimacy and catharsis in equal measure.

Arriving on the heels of collaborations with Maggie Rogers and Claud, the album also coincided with Del Water Gap’s headline U.S. tour, festival appearances (including All Things Go), and a support run with Jeremy Zucker.

With its mix of confessional songwriting and magnetic pop hooks, Del Water Gap stands as both an arrival and an invitation — a defining first statement from an artist whose reach is only just beginning.
