Coast is the most accessible track of Devin Townsend’s coming of (old) age album Ki. Although not necessarily representative of the dense melancholy pseudo-prog on this involving album, it’s an enjoyable atmospheric rock song. This spooky Blair Witch meets Area 51 video, however, casts a completely different aura over this innocuous number. A collage of largely static, monochrome images tell of monoliths and aliens with newspaper cuttings and amorphous landscapes all spliced together in time with the music. Quivering and edgy, this is actually a little unsettling.
Also for your enjoyment Devin has also shelled out for a new website which contains lots of on-brand nu-Devy imagery and plenty of shrink-couch babble for your vicarious indulgence.
