Porcupine Tree unexpectedly got here again in 2022 with a brand new report Closure/Continuation (plus a dwell album referred to as Closure/Continuation.Dwell), and performed a bunch of reveals in help of the report all through 2022 and 2023. Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson has since gone again to specializing in his solo work, although he does firmly imagine there can be a follow-up to Closure/Continuation.
In an interview with Innerviews, Wilson responded to a query about new music and the way forward for the band saying: “It is a bit too early to say, to be trustworthy. Once more, they’re totally different. I believe a bit like my solo profession, Porcupine Tree has reached a degree the place we do not wish to attempt to do something besides be ourselves. We do not wish to fear about what folks count on of us—not that we ever did.
“We’re having fun with the method. I like working with Gavin Harrison and Richard Barbieri. And the plain factor for me now’s that as a result of the solo profession is established, I am far more capable of be a part of a democratic band in a approach I wasn’t again within the day. I used to really feel the necessity to management it extra. Now, I do not. In truth, I relish the concept of giving up management and maybe not getting my very own approach on a regular basis. I am open to not essentially doing issues the way in which I might have achieved them myself.
“I believe Porcupine Tree going ahead will not be extremely prolific. We might not tour once more. However I believe we’ll positively make at the very least yet another report. It might even be the following challenge, presumably. However that is as a lot as I can say for the time being.”
He additionally famous that he’d like to do a Porcupine Tree dwell present field set, although that may show tough as he is received a variety of materials to dig via.
“I have been speaking about doing a Porcupine Tree dwell field set, as a result of just about each present we performed was recorded. However that may be an enormous job to compile 12-15 reveals that symbolize every section of the band in the very best gentle. It could be three-to-four months’ work. When am I going to try this? I believe it is one thing I’ll get to finally, however it could be at a time after I take a step again from making new work. And as you see, that is not taking place proper now.”
