Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson has since gone again to specializing in his solo work, although he does firmly imagine there shall be a follow-up to Closure/Continuation.
In an interview with Innerviews, Wilson responded to a query about new music and the way forward for the band saying: “It’s kind of too early to say, to be sincere. Once more, they’re completely different. I feel a bit like my solo profession, Porcupine Tree has reached a degree the place we do not wish to attempt to do something besides be ourselves. We do not wish to fear about what folks anticipate of us—not that we ever did.
“We’re having fun with the method. I like working with Gavin Harrison and Richard Barbieri. And the apparent factor for me now could be that as a result of the solo profession is established, I am rather more in a position to be a part of a democratic band in a approach I wasn’t again within the day. I used to really feel the necessity to management it extra. Now, I do not. In reality, I relish the thought of giving up management and maybe not getting my very own approach on a regular basis. I am open to not essentially doing issues the way in which I’d have carried out them myself.
“I feel Porcupine Tree going ahead will not be extremely prolific. We might not tour once more. However I feel we’ll positively make at the least another report. It may even be the subsequent mission, presumably. However that is as a lot as I can say in the meanwhile.”
He additionally famous that he’d like to do a Porcupine Tree dwell present field set, although that may show troublesome as he is received numerous materials to dig by means of.
“I have been speaking about doing a Porcupine Tree dwell field set, as a result of just about each present we performed was recorded. However that might be an enormous job to compile 12-15 exhibits that characterize every section of the band in the very best gentle. It will be three-to-four months’ work. When am I going to try this? I feel it is one thing I’ll get to ultimately, however it could be at a time after I take a step again from making new work. And as you see, that is not occurring proper now.”
