After a decade-plus hiatus, prog rock icons Porcupine Tree have been reactivated, with a brand new album, Closure/Continuation set for a June 24 launch. A second new single, “Of the New Day,” has simply arrived, together with the announcement of a worldwide tour, which would be the group’s first in 12 years.
“‘Of the New Day’ is a track of rebirth, rising from darkness,” stated founder Steven Wilson.
“It sounds deceptively easy, a recognizably atypical Porcupine Tree ballad. That’s till you understand that the size of the bars is continually altering, flipping between bars of normal 4/4 time to three/4, to five/4 to six/4, 11/4, in order that the monitor by no means settles into any regular time. It’s what Porcupine Tree can generally do rather well, give you a primary concept that’s nearly mental or mathematical, however carry it off in a method that sounds fully pure and accessible,” he continued. “Not less than I hope there is not any sense of us being intelligent for the sake of it or placing approach over musicality. That’s except you need to particularly residence in on that aspect of the composition.”
Hearken to the track, which follows the preliminary single “Harridan,” under.
Relating to the tour, the run will start in North America on Sept. 10, with dates booked by Oct. 4 earlier than Porcupine Tree head to South America for a cease in Chile then abroad to Europe to shut issues out with an finish date of Nov. 11.
