Happy new year to all! Pre-orders for Steven Wilson’s upcoming third solo album ‘The Raven That Refused To Sing (and other stories)‘ are selling fast, with well over half of the limited (6,000 copies) deluxe edition pre-ordered since it went on sale just before Christmas.  The album will be released via Kscope on 25th February.

Steven Wilson’s 2013 tour is already set to cover the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Mexico and South America (SA dates will be announced soon). Further countries will be added to the tour, which will continue throughout 2013, so check the tour dates page for updates and information.

The show will incorporate several new visual elements / films, and the new album will be performed in its entirety. In addition an early Porcupine Tree song will be included in the setlist, dating from the years when PT was still Steven’s solo project.

On that subject, a remastered CD reissue of the very earliest music Steven recorded under the name Porcupine Tree “Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape” is in preparation. This music was originally issued on cassette tapes and mostly dating from the late 80’s. This will only be available via mail order – more news on this soon.
