Evermore might be my favorite atm. I didn't really like it as a single but wow, it's such a satisfying listen

"Probs gonna be Anup Sastry, but I don't imagine Devy's gonna be performing very much of this live."



Following is from the website of one of the venue's he's coming to on his european tour:

“I am proud to announce that for the first 'band' tour of the Empath cycle, I am going to stretch my wings in ways I have not had the opportunity to do before and tour with a 'backing band' that can shift and morph as the music dictates instead of adhering to a click track. […] I have spent considerable effort think about the things I wanted to do for these shows, and one thing I came out of DTP with was the awareness that I wanted to incorporate a more improvisational element to what I do. With the best players I can find, my plan is to interpret my back catalogue, as well as the Empath material, in ways that may change nightly. Less computers, and less of a rigid structure. I want to use Volume 1 as a way to bring my music to people in a potentially new way.” – Devin Townsend

I'm starting to really get into Sprite now. I love the ambience of it. Makes me really want Dev to do a slightly darker and more minimalist ambient guitar album.

The final part of Singularity has to be the highlight here

@sheumke that's awesome. One of the long running critiques Devys live shows is that it's to sterile because so much of it is backing tracks. I am very curious to see what a stripped down improvisational Devy has to offer.

This was my AOTY in 2019 and it's still one of the best albums of the last decade for me. It's one of those albums that make you go on a mind voyage, like experiencing a movie from the inside. Devin is a genius.
