The news comes in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the country rock’s duo critically acclaimed debut studio album Casualties of Cool which was released back in May 2014. It seems that Dorval and Townsend are currently in the songwriting stage of the new album; no further details about a release date, title or tracklist have been officially announced or revealed.
Back in 2020, Townsend teamed up with Dorval along with other touring musicians on “Equinox (Demo)” from his quarantine project. Dorval had previously teased that the musical pair had begun working on the much-anticipated, forthcoming album in July of 2018 writing, “Started working on the next Casualties of Cool record today… I miss this…”
Both Dorval and Townsend have kept themselves busy with their other projects with the former’s new album The Crowned, arriving in January of 2023 while the latter’s third installment of his Devolution Series Empath Live In America being released in early August last year. Townsend’s prior record, Lightwork, which marked his twenty-first studio album, arrived in early November of 2022.
