Casualties of Cool is the upcoming debut album of country rock group Casualties of Cool, consisting of Canadian musicians Devin Townsend and Ché Aimee Dorval. It was partially funded by the crowdfunding site Pledge Music, and is scheduled to be released on May 14, 2014.[1][2]
Background
On his blog, Devin Townsend stated, "Casualties of Cool [is] a duo with myself and Che (ki)... It sounds like haunted Johnny Cash songs. Late night music, completely isolated sounding and different than anything I’ve done. Che sings most of the leads, and it’s probably the truest reflection of who I am in life at this point."[3] He originally announced the album as part of his Devin Townsend Project series, but it is now considered a separate project.[4] On November 20, 2012, Townsend stated that he would release material left over from writing his album Ghost, titled Ghost 2, as a bonus disc to this album, or that he at least hoped to.[5][6] The track listing was revealed on October 14, 2013.[7]
