UK prog rockers Porcupine Tree have released a video for brand new song Of The New Day, which you can watch here. At the same time the trio have announced North American tour dates, as well as a date in both Mexico and Chile for September and October.
Of The New Day is taken from Closure/Continuation, the band's first new album since 2009's The Incident, and which will be released through Music For Nations on June 24.
“Of the New Day is a song of rebirth, emerging from darkness," explains Steven Wilson of the new song. "It sounds deceptively simple, a recognisably atypical Porcupine Tree ballad. That is until you realise that the length of the bars is constantly changing, flipping between bars of regular 4/4 time to 3/4, to 5/4 to 6/4, 11/4, so that the track never settles into any steady time.
"It’s what PT can sometimes do really well, come up with a basic idea that’s almost intellectual or mathematical, but carry it off in a way that sounds completely natural and accessible. At least I hope there's no sense of us being clever for the sake of it, or putting technique over musicality. That is unless you want to specifically home in on that side of the composition.”
Porcupine Tree will release Closure/Continuation will be available as a seven track album on standard CD/double vinyl/coloured vinyl or limited cassette. The deluxe LP version comes on audiophile approved crystal clear vinyl as a 3xLP 45rpm boxset with two bonus tracks, Never Have and Population Three; the deluxe CD & Bluray boxset comes with three bonus tracks, Population Three, Never Have and Love In The Past Tense, instrumental versions, and high resolution 96/24 stereo, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos versions of the album, all housed in an exclusive art book.
