Elder announce new album, Through Zero

Psych heavyweights Elder are returning with a new album. On May 29, the band will release Through Zero via Blues Funeral/Stickman. Check out the tracklist and their upcoming tour dates below.

Elder’s Nick DiSalvo said about the new album, “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.”

Elder’s last album, Innate Passage, is featured on our list of 20 Great Albums You Might Have Missed from Summer/Fall 2022.
