delving (ft. Nicholas DiSalvo of Elder) announces European tour dates with special guests Iron Jinn!

delving, the instrumental psych-kraut-prog-rock project headed by Nicholas DiSalvo (best known as frontman of Elder) has announced a tour in November to support a brand new studio album!

While delving is in essence a solo studio project from multi-instrumentalist DiSalvo, his music takes flight in rare live performances thanks to a stellar live band consisting of guitarist Michael Risberg (Elder, Weite), bassist Ingwer Boysen (Weite, High Fighter) and Uno Bruniusson (Maggot Heart, ex-Death Alley).

Joining delving are the equally genre-bending psychedelic beast of Iron Jinn from Amsterdam. Stay tuned for news regarding the upcoming new delving album, slated for release in late summer/early fall of 2024 on Stickman Records (EU) and Blues Funeral Recordings (US)!

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 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 DiSalvo, Michael Risberg, Ingwer Boysen and Uno Bruniusson.
