DEVIN TOWNSEND’s CASUALITIES OF COOL: First Song Available

The first song from Devin Towsend‘s new project Casualities of Cool called Moon is available for streaming and can be heard below. The track features a guest appearance by Jørgen Munkeby of Norway’s Shining.

Devin recently launched a three-month-long crowdfunding campaign on PledgeMusic for Casualities of Cool since the project’s debut album is being released without record-label backing. It is now expected to be made available next week via iTunes.

In a recent Facebook post on the official page, Townsend said:

“Casualties will be on iTunes worldwide next week, also disk 2 will be available for download next week for pledgers. All 3600 CDs as well as vinyl have been signed by Che and I and we’re shipped yesterday, going out to you ASAP. All birthday songs done and sent except 2 due to finding pronunciation. Doing them tomorrow. Mp3s and phone messages done on Sunday. Almost all lyrics are done as well as pet pictures and doodles etc. sending on Monday.

Videos for mountaintop and flight due tomorrow. Universal choir website had some problems, but any day now it’ll be up. Book I’m writing has a website up, a huge show just got confirmed for Ziltoid 2, Casualties is doing 3 dates. Anneke gets to Vancouver on Monday, dTP disk starts being mixed on June 1st, Ziltoid June 12. Sonisphere is in July.

Doing the presentation on home recording at gearfest on June 7th, then to LA to finish the mix. Etcetcetc…so much. Needed to purge some. …not sure how life got this intense. My 5 year plan involves playing bass in a band and building birdhouses. For real…”
