Townsend recently released his new video for the track 'Lucky Animals', taken from his new album Epicloud.

The video was created on the basis of combining all sorts of amazing and outstanding self-recorded videos that were submitted by Devin fans from all over the world, to make 'Lucky Animals' a very special visual experience for everyone. More than 150 videos were submitted, out of which a good 130 made it into the video in the end (due to quality or legal issues some could not be used unfortunately).

In regards to the video, Devin Townsend comments: "Hey guys! So here's what we came up with for 'Lucky Animals'! We tried to use at least a clip from everyone's contributions, I really hope we succeeded =) ...The sync was a little difficult with some of them, and the quality varies between them all, but man... such fun! It's a great feeling to see people having a good time, and it makes us feel great that we're all having a good time with such a dumb song. Thanks a lot for this! Feel free to post your full videos on YouTube as well!"
