Following two delays and continuing supply chain issues, Devin Townsend‘s ambitious new companion albums “The Puzzle” and “Snuggles” will both be out digitally tomorrow, December 03rd. Certain physical formats of the release will be a bit delayed and are hoped to be resolved within the next week or two.
Townsend has previously described “The Puzzle” as being “a collaborative, multimedia art project.” It features input from upwards of 50 guest contributors remotely recorded during the pandemic. Speaking previously of “Snuggles“, Townsend stated “it is truly a sprawling, complex, multimedia cathartic release that was inspired by the events of the last year and a half.”
A film was shot to accompany both albums and it can even be played via a built-in 7″ screen included with the deluxe edition set of the albums. Pre-orders are available here.
