Porcupine Tree Continue Press Storm


[porcupinetree.com] Following on from his declaration of interest in Porcupine Tree back in 2007 , Rolling Stone’s David Fricke assesses the new album thus: “a mounting drama of memoir and real-news trauma, animated with slicing guitars, ghost-song electronics, mile-high harmonies and smart pop bait.” Read Fricke’s brief but effusive review HERE.

Speaking of The Incident, Weekender’s Kevin Krieger takes the view that “This is the one PT CD that covers all the ground that it’s visited over the years — progressive rock, metal, psychedelia, vocal harmonies, ambient… you name it.”

Away from PT, Alt.Sounds also carries news of a video competition based around Steven Wilson's solo track "Harmony Korine" to tie in with the forthcoming NSRGNTS RMXS album. Check out the details of both competition and album HERE.

Finally, in a blast from the recent past, a pre-tour SW talks about the changing nature of likes and dislikes, sources of inspiration, perception and preconceived notions about geography, passion and music, PT as a Venn diagram, and the origins of The Incident. Take a peek at the five part video at FaceCulture.
