Devin Townsend goes country-noir in a candlelit church and it's *weirdly* transcendent.
Casualties of Cool is a duo consisting of Devin Townsend and Ché Aimee. This is an intimate session recorded on Thursday, September 04, 2014 at the Union Chapel in London.
Sound
Union Chapel's natural reverb makes every note hang like smoke.
Acting
Townsend suppressing his usual chaos — the restraint IS the performance.
Cinematography
Candlelit shadows that actually feel spiritual, not cheesy.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Townsend funded the original Casualties of Cool album through crowdfunding, calling it 'the best record I've made' — then barely toured it due to anxiety.
This performance captures a project that essentially vanished; no second album, rare live dates, making this footage almost documentary-like in its preservation of something fleeting.
