Review
"I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet" by Del Water Gap is such a swoon-worthy treasure for anyone craving honest storytelling and a bit of vulnerability in their playlist! S. Holden Jaffe, the voice and soul behind the project, dives into those tangled feelings that come with romance and messy, wonderful connections. His lyrics feel like reading a diary entry you’re not supposed to see, full of sincerity and little moments that just tug at your heart. The indie vibes blend shimmering sounds with bursts of raw emotional energy—I swear, listening to "Quilt of Steam" feels like golden hour hugging your cheeks!
This album dances between soft, contemplative waves and joyful outbursts, showing off how Jaffe can serve up effortless balance. Tracks like "Glitter & Honey" feel dreamy and delicate, while songs such as "Coping on Unemployment" and "Want It All" bring a playful, infectious groove that you’ll probably be humming all day. Each song feels thoughtfully placed, giving the whole experience a sense of unfolding and revelation—like a really great road trip for your soul. Del Water Gap is definitely making waves, delivering music that lingers and feels like a tight squeeze from a friend! - Brittney
