The album will be released on April 26 via InsideOutMusic, and is available for preorder here.
Townsend has issues the following statement on the collaboration:
"As I age, I find myself growing easily bored with new music, which is disappointing as a music fan. Despite being very busy, mutual circumstances aligned myself and OU. I appreciate this connection, as their music is exceptionally well executed and interesting to me. I am pleased to have been involved with something refreshing like this."
