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.
The debut album “Hirschbrunnen” was recorded in the pandemic years when touring was brought to a grinding halt, allowing time to finally pick up song fragments and ideas collected over the years and coalesce them into an album. Positive reception led to the foundation of a live band, which has crystalized in the lineup of Nick DiSalvo, guitarist Michael Risberg (Elder, Weite), bassist Ingwer Boysen (Weite, High Fighter) and drummer Uno Bruniusson (Maggot Heart, ex-Death Alley).
Unlike its pandemic predecessor, delving’s second full-length “All Paths Diverge” was composed 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 is set in stone.

The album will be issued in 2xLP vinyl (LTD Marbled Edition and Cream White Edition) via Stickman Records (Europe) and 2xLP vinyl (LTD Sunburst Edition and Turquoise Sky Edition) via Blues Funeral Recordings (North America), as well as on CD and digital formats on August 23rd, 2024.
