Daffo, the project of Brooklyn-based artist Gabi Gamberg, recently announced the release of Pest/Crisis Kit, their forthcoming album, available September 20th via Concord Records. The EP combines their 2021 debut EP with its 2023 follow-up. Alongside the announcement Daffo shares a remix of their latest single “Good God” by Porches, who transforms the fuzzed-out rock song into a dance floor ready banger. “My oldest sister showed me Porches when I was 13. There were points in high school when I would listen to their discography religiously. I remember making “Sixteen,” from Scrap and Love Songs Revisited my alarm for the morning of my 16th birthday so it would be the first thing I heard. Needless to say, I am a fan, and I am extremely honored that Aaron agreed to do a remix of ‘Good God.’ It’s really a dream come true and of course It turned out so great.”

As a kid growing up in the Philadelphia suburbs, Gamberg first started writing songs after taking up guitar at age 9, then later shaped their intimate yet frenetic sound by playing countless DIY shows in backyards and basements. 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, 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, a brooding but tender project that revealed the full depth and power of their strangely poignant songwriting.
