Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (2XLP)

English progressive rock band founded in 1987 by [a=Steven Wilson] in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Originally a pseudonym for Wilson's solo recordings, in 1993 the project mutated into a full band with the inclusion of Colin Edwin, Chris Maitland and Richard Barbieri. Maitland was replaced by Gavin Harrison in 2002 and the line-up remained the same until 2010, when the band went into hiatus. In November 2021 the band officially return as a three-piece lineup comprised of Wilson, Barbieri and Harrison, releasing the new single "Harridan". The band's eleventh studio album Closure / Continuation, their first in 13 years, is released in June 2022.
