Porcupine Tree Founder's 2016 EP on 12" Vinyl!
Four-time Grammy® nominee, multi-instrumentalist, producer, Porcupine Tree founding member Steven Wilson releases 2016's interim album 4 ½ for the first time on Transmission.
The album opens with the shimmering guitar lines of "My Book of Regrets" & the upbeat "Happiness III" followed by the eerie instrumentals of "Year of the Plague" & "Sunday Rain Sets In." Later the record throws back to heavier moments of Steven Wilson & recalling Porcupine Tree on the distortion led "Vermillioncore" before rounding up with the introspective reimagining of "Don't Hate Me." A track that is a re-interpretation of the Porcupine Tree classic with Ninet Tayeb who featured on Hand. Cannot. Erase. & 2018's To the Bone.
Produced & mixed by Steven Wilson, 4 ½ features a stellar group of musicians contributing to the LP which include Adam Holzman (keyboards), Nick Beggs (bass), Guthrie Govan (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar), Marco Minnemann (drums), Chad Wackerman (drums), Craig Blundell (drums) & Theo Travis.
The artwork features photography by longtime collaborator Lasse Hoile & designed by Carl Glover. Porcupine Tree's 2022 album CLOSURE // CONTINUATION debuted at #2 in the Official Album Charts & #1 in Netherlands & Switzerland Album Charts.
The album is available on single 140g black vinyl LP.
