Del Water Gap Drops New Single “Purple Teeth, The Bravery”
The track appears on the forthcoming deluxe ‘I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet’ LP.
Del Water Gap is opening up about an experience that’s all-too-familiar for many: relying on alcohol for confidence but grappling with complex feelings the next day. The emotionally provoking song is called “Purple Teeth, The Bravery” and appears on the forthcoming deluxe version of his sophomore album, I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet. It was inspired by one of the artist’s close friends, namely that friend’s previous struggles with alcohol.
The project was released last year and will be receiving its expanded edition on Friday, August 16, via Mom + Pop Music. The new track will be accompanied by another new single, “Midas,” along with other cuts.
“This song is about coming home sober and facing up with someone who’s been drinking and showing you an ugly side of their honesty,” Del Water Gap, whose real name is Samuel Holden Jaffe, said. “And you go to bed and wake up in the morning and just sort of swallow it and start the day to keep the peace. The ground hog day of hurting and burying the hatchet, bottling up and boiling over again and again.”
Stream Del Water Gap’s new song “Purple Teeth, The Bravery” everywhere now. The deluxe edition of I Miss You Already + I Haven’t Left Yet is out on Friday.
