August 23, 2024 sees delving, the instrumental psych-kraut-prog-rock project headed by Nicholas DiSalvo (best known as frontman of Elder), release its forthcoming, hotly-anticipated studio album “All Paths Diverge”. delving‘s sophomore full-length offering will be coming as two Vinyl editions via Stickman Records (EU) and Blues Funeral Recordings (US); find EU pre-orders HERE, and US pre-orders HERE!

Following the previously-released, first album appetizer “Zodiak”, today, delving is presenting a new track taken from “All Paths Diverge”! About “Omnipresence”, DiSalvo reveals:

“Omnipresence is a song I worked on sporadically over a few years, as opposed to others on the album which took shape spontaneously. It encapsulates as with any good delving track a myriad of seemingly incompatible elements and tries to meld them together: dreamy Mellotron sounds, driving synths, fuzz guitars, dubbed-out drums, a harpsichord? – elements that only over time can be subtly fused together to make a cohesive and coherent rock track. It’s a hazy and peaceful song to bliss out to and forget the world around you.”

delving‘s much-acclaimed debut album “Hirschbrunnen” (released in 2021 via Stickman Records), was recorded in the pandemic years where touring was brought to a grinding halt, allowing time to finally pick up song fragments and ideas collected over years and coalesce them into an album. Positive reception led to the foundation of a live band, which has crystalized in the lineup of Nicholas DiSalvo, guitarist Michael Risberg (Elder, Weite), bassist Ingwer Boysen (Weite, High Fighter) and Uno Bruniusson (Maggot Heart, ex-Death Alley).

After a decade and a half as frontman of the seminal progressive psychedelic quartet Elder, DiSalvo founded delving as a secondary outlet to express musical ideas that didn’t fit in the paradigm of his main band. Exploring instrumental music with a heavy focus on psychedelic rock, krautrock, early electronic music as well as ambient sounds, delving still showcases the evocative melodies and unique songwriting which are his trademarks. 

“All Paths Diverge” was composed – unlike its pandemic predecessor – in between time on tour and in studio with Elder. Culled once more from an ever-expanding songbook of ideas, the album’s seven lengthy tracks are a snapshot of DiSalvo’s current musical interests and love of sound exploration and remain evasive of genre confines. Intended as a subtle rebuff of the old adage “all roads lead to Rome”, the album title “All Paths Diverge” asserts that change is inevitable and nothing set in stone.

As DiSalvo recently said: “While looking back on the songs I wrote for this record over the past years, I was struck by how much has changed in my life and in the world since the first delving album came about in the height of the pandemic. This music is for me nostalgic and every part in each song brings back a memory of where I was at when writing it. I think it’s a very diverse album and that in itself a reflection of the fact that we’re all in flux, and that that’s a beautiful thing.”

Tracklist:

1. Sentinel
2. Omnipresence
3. Chain Of Mind
4. New Meridian
5. Zodiak
6. The Ascetic

While delving is in essence a solo studio project from multi-instrumentalist DiSalvo, his music takes flight in rare live performances thanks to the stellar live band.

delving, the instrumental psych-kraut-prog-rock project headed by Nicholas DiSalvo (best known as frontman of Elder) has finally revealed new details about its forthcoming, sophomore studio offering! “All Paths Diverge” will be released on August 23, 2024, as two Vinyl editions via Stickman Records (EU) and Blues Funeral Recordings (US). Album pre-orders are now available, and a music video for the first, stellar album single “Zodiak” is now premiering below!

“All Paths Diverge has many faces and facets, and Zodiak shows some of the most progressive and heavy sides of the record.” DiSalvo comments. “Note that this is only an abridged version and the full album version contains minutes more of ambiance! I probably worked on Zodiak for a few years off and on and I think each part of the track reflects a moment in time, a portion of the year, a segment of the zodiac.”

The song is out now on all digital providers at https://bfan.link/zodiak-2
