Taking the Casual Tone Out Of An Incident
By: Patrick Daniels
"The Incident", Porcupine Trees tenth studio release is a unique album that is scheduled to be release on the 22nd of September. It is a two CD release, from Roadrunner Records, and is being referred to as a musical statement, rather then an album, as it is a fifty five minute musical story of sorts.
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.
Wilson also included tracks on this album that related to his first love, and his pursuit of a music career. He was excited to write these songs for porcupine Tree, since he has written for them in the past, and they always do wonderful things to the songs that he creates for them.
Porcupine Tree is a Grammy nominated UK group that consists of drummer Gavin Harrison, bass by Colin Edwin and Richard Barbieri on keyboard along with guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer Steven Wilson. "The Incident" has many anxious waiting fans for its release on the 15th of September.
