Devin Townsend is now streaming his high-energy new single “Jainism” from the upcoming document PowerNerd, due out October 25.
“This subsequent music was based mostly 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 certainly one of our generations biggest songwriters. In preparation for ‘The Moth’, PowerNerd is supposed to look again and rejoice the previous earlier than shifting ahead. Thanks for the assist…again to work right here :)”
On the document itself and creating the entire thing in 11 years, Townsend added: “It was a aware factor. I believed, ‘I’ve spent a lot time overthinking each facet of my work – what would occur if I did not?’ Perhaps I might 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 reduce by among the meandering.”
On what precisely a “powernerd” is, Townsend elaborated: “I might say {that a} powernerd could be someone that tends that society has deemed weak or not beneficial, whether or not that is empathy or being an insular particular person or an introvert, and turns that into a sort of private energy. It is like, ‘OK, yeah, I am delicate to this, that and the opposite factor, however man, I’m going to drag by! I’m going to do issues with that sensitivity which can be rooted in energy.'”
