Steven Wilson Readies New Solo Album

The Porcupine Tree man will release his second solo effort in September

Published 16th Feb 2011

Wilson announced on his Facebook page that the new album would be a double CD and that the new record is an ambitious affair.

Here's what he said:

"My second solo album is nearing completion. It will be in the form of 2 separate 40 minute albums released in the same 2 CD set, and will also come as a blu-ray with surround mix, high definition stereo and a lot of visual material (Lasse is already working hard on films for many of the songs).

"We're also planning a special Insurgentes style hard back book edition with a full length bonus CD of additional material. A year in the making, this is without doubt my biggest project to date, perhaps my most ambitious and personal music, and with some phenomenal musicians and performances on it (drummer Nic France in particular is going to blow a lot of people away). We hope a website will launch around April/May to start previewing material, with the album scheduled for September."
