Devin Townsend releases new music video for ‘Moonpeople’

DEVIN TOWNSEND has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Moonpeople, is taken from the acclaimed Canadian guitarist, vocalist and songwriter’s upcoming new album, Lightwork, which is scheduled to be released in October this year.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, Devin says, “hey all 🙂 this is Devin. Welcome to my newest album Lightwork. The last few years have been a lot, and this is the music that I wrote during that time. In essence, Lightwork is a bit more of a ‘song’ oriented album. A bit more direct and simpler than a lot of what I’ve been doing lately. After Empath and The Puzzle, things kind of swung back in the direction of more traditional arrangements for Lightwork.

Lyrically, It kind of hints at the struggles of the last few years but with an eye on putting the pieces back together again. We chose Moonpeople as the first of three video releases from this project, The three videos share a theme, so I think that’ll work. Moonpeople is the first song on Lightwork and acts as a sort of mission statement for the album. Post pandemic… kids are now teens… 50 years old, who am I now? Beyond any platitudes or delusions, who am I now that the smoke is clearing and what do I want to do, and who do I want to be, moving forward?

The term Moonpeople in my mind, refers to those in society that kind of ‘watch’ things rather than being directly involved in it. Maybe the Moonpeople are more introverted rather than extroverted? In any case, it functions as a song on the album that will set the stage for the dynamic nature of the material that follows it. So here you go. Song one.”

Lightwork is set for release on October 28th via InsideOut Music. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
