New Porcupine Tree Album – The Incident

Posted in Porcupine Tree by David Mytton on June 13, 2009

Porcupine Tree are happy to announce the forthcoming release of their tenth studio album “The Incident”. The record is set to be released via Roadrunner Records worldwide on 21st September, as a double CD.

The centre-piece is the title track, which takes up the whole of the first disc. The 55-minute work is described as “a slightly surreal song cycle about beginnings and endings and the sense that ‘after this, things will never be the same again’.”

The self-produced album is completed by four standalone compositions that developed out of band writing sessions last December – Flicker, Bonnie The Cat, Black Dahlia, and Remember Me Lover feature on a separate EP length disc to stress their independence from the song cycle.

Video footage of the band in the studio working on The Incident, as well as audio previews, will be available online soon. The band will tour extensively to promote the album from mid September onwards.

    can’t friggin’ wait. Mr. Wilson is THE musical genius of the 21′st century. I cannot believe he’s bringing the boys to Seattle again… I am SO FRICKIN’ BLESSED to get to see virtually every tour since about “Stupid Dream” or thereabouts. My only concern is whether I’ll be able to hear (much less absorb) the new music before the show here on Sept 15… nice problem to have though! Reminds me of those “poor folks” in 1975 who saw the Genesis “Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” shows before the album had been released. Again, nice problem to have. Whoooo hooooO!
