Description

Having recently announced that Snapper Music will be representing Porcupine Trees Transmission label worldwide, new CD & LP reissues of the bands extensive catalogue will roll out throughout 2021.

In Absentia was Porcupine Trees seventh studio album, first released in 2002, & was the first in a run of three albums that for many represent the pinnacle of the band's artistic achievements. Not many albums can claim to have created a new genre, but with its fusion of metal, progressive rock, ambient textures, & acoustic singer-songwriter styled material, it became something of a blueprint for a generation of bands to come. It was also something of a breakthrough for the band, eventually going on to sell three times more than the bands previous releases. In Absentia features many of Porcupine Trees most beloved songs, including "Trains", "The Sound of Muzak" & "Blackest Eyes". While not a formal concept album, many of the songs have common themes related to serial killers, youthful innocence gone wrong, & observations of the modern world, setting a template for many of songwriter Steven Wilson's future songs.

Porcupine Tree released their last album, The Incident, in 2009, marking another step forward in the incredible journey of the band that began as a solo studio project created by Steven Wilson in the late eighties to a multi grammy nominated act & one of the worlds most revered live bands, selling out arenas across the globe & wowing fans with their incredible performances.

This new 2LP Transmission 2021 reissue of In Absentia is presented in a gatefold sleeve & remains faithful to the original artwork.
