Del Water Gap draws you further into his world with "I Miss You Already + I Haven'tHaven't Left Yet (Deluxe)," a breathtaking expansion of his sophomore album, now with the intoxicatingly unfiltered new track, "Purple Teeth, The Bravery." The deluxe album cements Del Water Gap's stance as one of indie music's most incisive storytellers.
An impressive addition to the record, "Purple Teeth, The Bravery" is a fever dream of remorse, evening intoxication, and the raw aftermath of brash decisions. Set against a backdrop of carnival-church piano chords and shadowy bass lines that unfurl like smoke, Del Water Gap queries the temporary courage we drink from a glass and the toll that we're we're left to pay when the sun arrives. With his trademark plaintive, soaring vocals, he croons, "When I tell you I love you, it it's not an attack But purple teeth, you're you're killing me You treat me so unkind," building a tableau that is at once both personal and relatable.
In addition to the new single, the new deluxe version of "I Miss You Already + I Haven'tHaven't Left Yet" spans 15 tracks in 52 minutes and 38 seconds of other songs from Del Water Gap, each imbued with the emotional depth and vulnerability that have become the rising artist's calling card. Fan favorites such as "Beach House" and "Losing You" still stand out, detailing the push and pull of desire, longing, and self-discovery.
