Journeys are often recounted as though composed of a\nstarting point, a goal, and an intervening distance?when\nthat is often only half the story. What of the path between\nthe destination and the point of origin, dotted with sights\none didn\x27t take in and courses that strayed from the known\npath? The return can be more circuitous, full of sideways\nsteps and stop\-offs at the distracting attractions once passed\nby on the way. Divagate provides the final segment of the\ntrilogy begun by Gregory Taylor with the arrival and\nreconnaissance of Retinue, and the resolute pilgrimage\nof Peregrination. This time, the forking audio pathways\nswing aside into territories serenaded by 5\-tone pedal\nsteel guitars and percolating synths alongside the ringing\nbronze, fractured vocalise, and a stubborn refusal to\nconclude the circuit with either triumphal codas or a terrain\nthat dissolves into air; its pensive conclusion abandons the\nheroism of exploration for the quieter gesture of taking up\na pen and starting to write. Divagate comprises the final\nstages of that journey.
