Nick DiSalvo to Release LP From Solo-Project Delving
Delving — also stylized all-lowercase: delving — is a not the first side-project from Elder‘s Nick DiSalvo, as one might recall Gold & Silver‘s 2014 album, Azurite and Malachite (review here), prefacing many of the progressive turns that would soon be folded into Elder‘s work. As Delving begins to move toward its own debut, with DiSalvo working as yet unaccompanied in the band, one can’t help but look forward to what might manifest as he forgets “bands, fans and expectations,” and perhaps some of the pressures those things might place on the creative process. Sounds like a refreshing idea.
No audio yet, as the album was being mixed as of the start of this year, but it’s apparently already being pressed, as Stickman Records (also Elder‘s label in Europe) tells it:
delving joins Stickman!
We’re happy to announce a brand new project from Elder guitarist/singer Nick DiSalvo, a (at the present) solo endeavor called delving. The debut album, recorded in December of 2020 at Big Snuff Studio in Berlin, is already in production and we’ll be announcing more details soon. From the horse’s mouth:
“I’m an almost obsessive songwriter, working on music every day and amassing a huge collection of song fragments and ideas that often don’t get the attention I’d like because of the time I spend with my main band. “Thanks” to this pandemic, I’ve had plenty of time to pick up some of the songs I’ve written over the past years and finally make an album that I’ve been telling myself forever I’d do.
From my earliest moments as a musician, I have been obsessed with home recordings, begging my parents for a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder for Christmas when I was 12 and making my own albums. delving is a continuation of this creative spirit: experimenting all on my own, forgetting bands, fans and expectations and making whatever music I want to.”
