US heavy prog band Elder has announced the release of Live at BBC Maida Vale Studios on vinyl and CD through Stickman Records, set for August 30.

The band recorded this session for Dan Carter’s BBC Radio 1 Rockshow during their UK tour last year at the renowned BBC Studios in London’s Maida Vale.

“We recorded a few tracks from the live set we had been playing at that time and were very happy with the results – a very ‘live’ sounding version of the tracks, which can be sometimes a bit ambitious to pull off live,” the band said. “Most folks missed the radio broadcast, so we figured we’d put it to vinyl and CD as well.”

In other news, delving, the instrumental psych-kraut-prog-rock project led by Elder frontman Nicholas DiSalvo, will release their second album All Paths Diverge on August 23. This album will be available in two vinyl editions via Stickman Records (EU) and Blues Funeral Recordings (US).

Reflecting on the new delving album, DiSalvo shared, “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.”
