Devin Townsend’s soon to be unleashed album ‘Epicloud’ (released in the UK September 24th) has been made available for streaming via Exclaim.ca. The new record will take a more straightforward and pop orientated approach to song writing, featuring a re-recorded version of ‘Kingdom’, which previously appeared on the ‘Physicist’ album in 2000. The quirky Canadian genius stated his intentions with ‘Epicloud’, commenting:
“I wanted something catchy as the flu, but with a sentiment that is romantic, positive and beautiful. Spiritual without religion and set to heavy music. Again, because some structures are ‘common’ (but new to me) this record is my take on what a big, epic, commercial sounding record that sings about nice stuff would sound like in Dev-land.”
Just listening to ‘Epicloud’ once through and already Dev-land sounds like an awesome place to be!
