Porcupine Tree are unquestionably one of the U.K.'s most inspired and inventive rock groups. Since their 1993 inception, the band - Steven Wilson (lead vocals, multi-instrumentalist), Richard Barbieri (keyboards), Colin Edwin (bass), and Gavin Harrison (drums)- have proven themselves to be true musical pioneers, with a devoted worldwide following. Now Porcupine Tree are poised to release IN ABSENTIA, their eagerly anticipated Lava Records debut. A indefinable blend of organic songwriting, evocative soundscaping, and powerhouse rock dynamics, the album is the sound of a band confidently in control of their own inimitable musical universe. A truly sonic experience, IN ABSENTIA is Porcupine Tree's most accomplished statement to date.
