Porcupine Tree Closure / Continuation (Vinyl 2LP) * * *

First New Music in Twelve Years!

Over the years Porcupine Tree (featuring Steven Wilson, Richard Barbieri and Gavin Harrison) have constantly evolved as their expansive music has shifted from pastoral psychedelic rock and ambient electronic soundscapes to experimental pop and eventually - with 21st century masterpiece In Absentia - a propulsive metal sound all of their own. Their latter records effortlessly combined each of those genres and allowed Porcupine Tree to occupy a musical universe unique to them. One of the UK's most forward thinking, genre defying rock bands, returns in 2022 with their first new music in twelve years! Over a decade in the making, Closure/Continuation is a grand statement wholly worthy of the revered PT name.
