Daffo Shares New Song “Hand To God” After Getting Dropped By Label

LA-based singer-songwriter Gabi Greenberg records under the name Daffo. Last year, they released their debut album Where The Earth Bends on BMG's Concord imprint, and they seemed to be making all the right connections. Rob Schnapf produced the LP, and Daffo went out on tour with Wednesday. Earlier this year, Lance Bangs directed a video for Daffo's lovely cover of Arthur Russell's "I Couldn't Say It To Your Face." But apparently that wasn't enough, since Concord has evidently dropped Daffo.A few days ago, Daffo posted a simple message on Instagram: "got dropped from my label lol." In the accompnaying photos, we see Daffo biting into a hot dog, then two hot dogs with "I GOT DROPPED" written across them in mustard. This seems like a pretty good way to handle a shitty career circumstance.Soon after that Instagram post, Daffo shared a video of themselves playing a new song solo-acoustic, writing, "first draft of a new song i’m working on. kind of hate everything about it lol but trying to be less precious about sharing things blah blah blah blah blah blah blah bye." I, on the other hand, don't hate anything about this song. I think it sounds nice.Daffo posted another demo version of that song today on their Bandcamp page, which now appears to be registered under their government name. This one sounds even better. Listen below.
