Taking the Casual Tone Out Of An Incident

The tenth album release for Porcupine Trees is scheduled for a September 22nd release date. "The Incident" is a two disc album, from Roadrunner Records, and is being compared to a musical statement and story of sorts, rather then an album.

It is a musical journey, from beginning to end, about an event that happened in Wilson's life. While Wilson as sitting in traffic and eventually drove past a multi vehicle accident he noticed a sign that said there was a Police Incident, and that remained in his head. He did not think that the word "incident" was the proper term to describe what had happened, with the entire trauma that was suffered and how all the lives of those involved would forever change.

Each song from The Incident album is directly related to a media reported incident trying to bring it into the first person for a more realistic and humanizing perspective of these issues that are life changing and effect people forever and yet are so casually reported by the media. Some of the incidents that are documented in the album include a family that terrorizes a neighborhood, teenage girls being pulled from a religious cult, and a group of people on a fishing trip who find a body floating in the river.

There are also some tracks that are related to life changing experiences in Wilson's life, including a song about his first love, and going forward with his music career. Wilson has written for Porcupine Tree in the past and was excited to do so again, as he knows that they are able to do incredible things with his songs. It was an honor for him to create this album, about life changing events, for such a talented group of artists.

This Grammy nominated UK group consists of Gavin Harrison, drummer, Colin Edwin, bass, Richard Barbieri, keyboard and Steven Wilson, guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer. "The Incident" is very anticipated by fans, and is said to be one of their most innovative sounds yet. The fabulous two disc collection is scheduled for a release date of September 15th.
