Fear of a Blank Planet
01-06-2007
Roadrunner
Records and Atlantic USA have officially announced the release of the
new Porcupine Tree album "Fear of a Blank Planet" in mid April. The
album features six (mostly lengthy) tracks, and is the band’s most
ambitious and cohesive work to date. Much of it was debuted last year
on tour to a rapturous response from fans.
The lyrical content of the song-cycle on the album is a 21st century
cocktail of MTV, sex, prescription drugs, video games, the internet,
terminal boredom, and subsequent escape.
More news and previews of the album to follow on this site.
