Show notes
Norwayâs Delvoid take their time with their studio albums. So we took some time to talk with vocalist Alex Delver about their third full length offering, âSwarmlifeâ, vocal influences and of course the meaning behind the band name. We also had a nice nerd-out on single-song albums, (multiple) album-spanning multi-part songs and all those kinds of proggy songwriting shenanigans.Chapters:01:00 three different types of bands on The Progtalks01:55 welcome Alex of Delvoid from Oslo04:00 what happened between Serene and Swarmlife?05:55 introducing the band members10:35 how did the pandemic influence Swarmlife?13:30 how would you describe Delvoidâs music to new listeners?18:55 vocal influences20:55 lyrical themes on Swarmlife23:15 album lengths and songwriting precision26:40 single-song albums or EPs29:45 multi-part songs across albums34:20 the upcoming release show36:15 the mystery of the band nameđ” Delvoid is:Magnus Andersen - BassEspen Th Granseth - Drums, vibraphone, percussionErik Johan Halbakken - Lead guitarAlex Delver - Vocals, second guitar đż Discography:Delve (2011)Serene (2015)Switchman EP (2016)Swarmlife (2022)âïž Follow Delvoid:Website: https://www.delvoid.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/delvoidInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/delvoidmusic Twitter: https://twitter.com/Delvoidofficial Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/delvoidofficial/Bandcamp: https://delvoid.bandcamp.com/Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3xHgZ1p**********â BUY US A COFFEE âWe bring these interviews to you with our own resources and have no monetization at all.
