Delving - All Paths Diverge CD
SKU
21-BFR-034-CD
"Founded by Elder frontman and multi-instrumentalist Nicholas DiSalvo, delving is a progressive entity he created to express and explore musical ideas that don't quite fit Elder's main paradigm. With a heavy focus on on psychedelic rock, krautrock, early electronic music and ambient sounds, delving still showcases the evocative melodies and distinctive songcraft that are Elder's trademarks, just in a more expansive way. A subtle rebuff to the adage "all roads lead to Rome," new album "All Paths Diverge" is delving's assertion that change is inevitable and nothing is set in stone, and finds the band sweeping through exploratory passages that feel nostalgic but new, reflecting the searching nature of DiSalvo's creativity in a melting mirror of what Elder has established."
"All Paths Diverge” is delving’s second full-length and 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.
DiSalvo says: “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”."
