delving, the instrumental psych-kraut-prog-rock project headed by Elder frontman Nick DiSalvo have shared a suitably trippy video for their new single Omnipresence which you can watch below.

The band will release their second album All Paths Diverge as two vinyl editions through Stickman Records (EU) and Blues Funeral Recordings (US) on August 23.

"Omnipresence is a song I worked on sporadically over a few years, as opposed to others on the album which took shape spontaneously," explains DiSalvo. "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.

"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."

Whilst delving is mainly a studio-based outfit, DiSalvo and his live band will be performing live throughout Europe in November and December, with Duthch psych band Iron Jinn. You can see the dates below.
