Drive Home newly remastered in 4K!

This year marks the tenth anniversary of my third album The Raven that Refused to Sing.

Featuring 58 tracks, the collection explores the creativity, … Read More

The new Porcupine Tree album Closure / Continuation is out now! Time will tell, but right now I feel it probably is in the top three best records that we’ve ever made, alongside In Absentia and Fear of a Blank Planet.
