Devin Townsend is now streaming his high-energy new single “Jainism” from the upcoming file PowerNerd, due out October 25.
“This subsequent tune was primarily based on my connection to music within the mid nineties. Additionally the thought of what it means to rend your self artistically to an unresponsive world in 2024,” mentioned Townsend. “I referenced The Wildhearts within the refrain, as Ginger is one among our generations biggest songwriters. In preparation for ‘The Moth’, PowerNerd is supposed to look again and have fun the previous earlier than transferring ahead. Thanks for the help…again to work right here :)”
On the file itself and creating the entire thing in 11 years, Townsend added: “It was a aware factor. I assumed, ‘I’ve spent a lot time overthinking each facet of my work – what would occur if I did not?’ Perhaps I’d have the chance to be a bit extra direct with what it’s that I am attempting to do. I actually needed to see if I might lower by a number of the meandering.”
On what precisely a “powernerd” is, Townsend elaborated: “I’d say {that a} powernerd could be any individual that tends that society has deemed weak or not worthwhile, whether or not that is empathy or being an insular particular person or an introvert, and turns that into a sort of non-public energy. It is like, ‘OK, yeah, I am delicate to this, that and the opposite factor, however man, I’m going to tug by! I’m going to do issues with that sensitivity which are rooted in power.'”
PowerNerd is on the market for pre-order right here in a number of completely different codecs, together with a Restricted 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook (that includes the album, bonus tracks and Townsend‘s first ever Dolby Atmos combine), Restricted 2CD Digipak in O-card, Customary CD, Gatefold 2LP & Digital Album.
