Porcupine Tree – Closure / Continuation (2xLP)

 Porcupine Tree, the British progressive rock heroes around guitarist, singer and composer Steven Wilson, have announced a new album for 2022. "Closure / Continuation" is the name of the first work in 13 years, since their 2009 release "The Incident". Wilson had actually already ruled out a reunion a few years ago. So much for the miracle.

Porcupine Tree were formed in 1987 by Steven Wilson, who wanted to realize his experimental musical ideas outside of his synth-pop duo No-Man. Today, they are one of the most influential cross-genre rock bands in the world. Since their debut "On The Sunday of Life" (1992), ten more albums had been released by 2009, including the critically acclaimed "Absentia" (2002). Since 2010, however, the band members had devoted themselves to their solo careers. Wilson in particular has enjoyed great success recently: as a producer for bands such as Opeth, Marillion, King Crimson and Emerson Lake & Palmer, as well as with his own solo albums, the last four of which reached the top three of the charts in this country. The new "Closure / Continuation" is Porcupine Tree's eleventh album.
