Daffo drops new single/video “Quick Fix”

Daffo, the project of Brooklyn-based artist, Gabi Gamberg, today, they have shared new single entitled “Quick Fix”. The track finds Gamberg describing the way their temporary comforts ultimately lead to prolonged suffering. Detailing guilty but empty pleasures from cigarette smoking to one-night stands, a sonic testament to Gamberg’s inner battle to understand and forgive themselves. Quick Fix follows the release of Absence Makes the Heart Grow, a collaboration with veteran producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, Cat Power). Daffo recently wrapped a full US tour supporting illuminati hotties and is hitting the road this summer with dates announced supporting Blondshell and Annie DiRusso.
Daffo on “Quick Fix:”
“This song is about the temporary ways in which I comfort myself, habits that ultimately lead to more suffering,” Gamberg explains. “I started the song before I went on my first tour. The first verse, about eating junk and smoking, I squeezed out during a very intense writer’s block. On tour, I quit smoking for my voice. When I came back from tour I still couldn’t write, until one day I started smoking again. That day I was able to finish the song, my slight regression became fuel for the rest of the words.”
Daffo started making music at an early age, at 16 they recorded the songs that eventually became the Crisis Kit — a five-song EP co-produced by Gamberg and friend and collaborator Hudson Pollock. After graduating high school, Gamberg enrolled at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University and slowly made their way into the local DIY scene. As their community of fans began to grow, Gamberg downloaded TikTok on a whim and went viral with the second post they ever shared: a bedroom performance of a spontaneously composed song called The Experiment. The song later appeared as a bonus track on Daffo’s sophomore EP Pest.
