Elder have confirmed a May 29th release date via Blues Funeral Recordings/Stickman Records/Bird’s Robe for their seventh studio album “Through Zero“. Nick DiSalvo, who serves as as vocalist/guitarist for the Tool-backed psych rockers, said of this next entry in their catalog:
“‘Through Zero‘ is a term borrowed from engineering and the world of music. It describes the property of a frequency being able to pass through the zero point and continue into the negative. While it isn’t a concept rooted in philosophy, it resonates with me on a conceptual level: the zero point is not an end, but a midpoint along a partially unseen path. Interpretation is open: the journey is the destination, beginnings and endings may be arbitrary, or perhaps reality is simply less linear than we tend to assume.
The songs on the album explore related themes that reflect my own observations and personal philosophy. Life and death, frustration and fear, helplessness and hope — all of these exist along the same ‘signal path’.”
The band self-produced this new outing and co-mixed it alongside Richard Behrens.
