Steve Von Till announces new album ‘No Wilderness Deep Enough’
Steve Von Till has announced a new album!
Titled No Wilderness Deep Enough, the upcoming album from the NEUROSIS guitarist is his brand new solo effort and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Neurot Recordings. The upcoming album will be accompanied by his first published work of original poetry, Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems and Collected Lyrics.
With a foundation of simple melancholy piano chord progressions that came to fruition during jetlagged nights in his wife’s childhood home in Germany, No Wilderness Deep Enough was further embellished with mellotron and electronic treatments in Von Till’s home studio in North Idaho. Viewing the emerging result as an ambient instrumental album, he consulted friend and engineer Randall Dunn [Marissa Nadler, EARTH] about adding live cello and french horn and piano in a proper studio. After enlisting Brent Arnold on cello and Aaron Korn on french horn, he challenged Von Till to sing over the music and make it his next solo album, which is exactly what happened, with final work being completed at Tucker Martine’s [THE DECEMBERISTS, NEKO CASE] Flora Recording and Playback in Portland.
The album’s accompanying book is Von Till‘s first published work of original poetry and features a collection of new poetry and lyrics from his solo career over the past 20 years.
“It’s about personal longings and loss, and the loves and insecurities we all feel combined with meditations on humanity as a whole,” Steve Von Till explains while discussing his main artistic aims behind the album, as well as his poetic expressions captured in Harvestman. “I’m exploring the great disconnect: from the natural world, from each other, and ultimately from ourselves – trying to find meaning and depth in re-establishing those connections, to find a resonance in purpose and acknowledging the past while looking towards the future and still being in the moment.”
Alongside the announcement of the new solo album, Steve Von Till has released the first song from the upcoming release; Dreams of Trees.
