“It was a cool acoustic show that deserves to be heard” Devin Townsend on his “Devolution Series” Releases
If you follow Devin Townsend on social media, you’ll know that he’s been working on new music for a new album. But, he’s also doing a series of live albums and quarantine albums to keep busy during lockdown!
Townsend says, “So we bring to you the ‘Devolution Series’: a grouping of oddities and interesting material that I would like people to hear, but don’t necessarily want to present as a ‘major release. The series will include all the quarantine songs and concerts, as well as various live shows from the past few years.”
“The first release is a remixed and remastered version of the ‘Live In Leeds’ show that was originally on the ‘Empath’ Ultimate Edition. It was a cool acoustic show that deserves to be heard, I think, so we can use this as an introduction to the series.”
You’ll be able to grab “Devolution Series #1 – Acoustically Inclined, Live in Leeds” as a limited CD digipak, 180-gram gatefold 2LP (including a CD version) and as a digital album.
