DAFFO ON TOUR PLAYING THE MASQUERADE – ALTAR

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 1/24/26

Daffo will be making a stop in Atlanta, GA to play a show at The Masquerade – Altar on 1/28 

Their debut album, Where The Earth Bends, is out now via Concord Records and is a one-of-a-kind coming-of-age album that finds powerful catharsis in painful confession. Produced and mixed by Rob Schnapf (a veteran producer known for his work with Elliott Smith, Beck, Cat Power, and more), Where the Earth Bends encompasses an intimate yet frenetic sound that perfectly mirrors the album’s emotional intensity.

An essential new voice on the indie-rock scene Daffo brings an unexpected beauty to the most uncomfortable of feelings. With a poetic specificity that cuts right to the heart, they speak an unfiltered truth about all that sets them apart from the wider world, confronting everything from shame and self-loathing to misplaced affection and the chaos of living with an overactive brain. Where the Earth Bends was produced and mixed by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, Cat Power), and engineer Matt Schuessler (Kurt Vile, Steve Gunn). Esteemed musicians were enlisted like drummer Josh Adams (Devendra Banhart, Jon Batiste) which allowed the album to embrace a boldly naturalistic approach to every element of the production process. 

“Gabi Gamberg’s scratchy voice over sputtering drums and lo-fi distorted guitars seesaws between remembering the wonderment of ‘the kid in you’ and an adult realization that ‘there’s nothing I can do’ – the holiday season’s tensions laid bare.”

-The New York Times

“The gritty, slacker rock sound brings strength to their tender phrasings and acrobatic harmonies”

-Paste

“Catchy and distortion-heavy”

-Stereogum

“Uniquely confessional lyricism”
