The brand new video from Lasse Hoile for the track ‘Normal’ is now streaming exclusively on the mini-site for the new Porcupine Tree release Nil Recurring. Fans can download a special ‘Nil Recurring’ banner from the site which will enable them to embed a Porcupine Tree audio player on their own site, blog or myspace. There are also French, Italian and German language versions of the mini-site.

Nil Recurring follows the release of Porcupine Tree’s grammy-nominated ‘Fear Of A Blank Planet’ album. The mini-album (29 minutes of music) was written during the ‘Fear Of A Blank Planet’ sessions, completed over the summer of 2007, and is now presented as a cohesive, self-contained Porcupine Tree work in its own right.

The title track features Robert Fripp on lead guitar, and the album moves through the full Porcupine Tree spectrum of atmospheric ambience, melodic hooks, and crushing riffs.

This edition is packaged in a deluxe super jewel case in textured slipcase.

Porcupine Tree are regarded as one of the most impressive experimental/ progressive/ psychedelic rock bands to emerge from the UK since their inception in 1991, having enjoyed a successful recording career spanning over 15 years.

Frontman Steven Wilson is also known for his recent work with Aviv Geffen as Blackfield and for his production and musical contributions on the Opeth albums ‘Blackwater Park’, ‘Deliverance’ and ‘Damnation’.

Throughout this period they have evolved from a psychedelic solo studio project to one of the most revered live bands on the planet, releasing 11 critically acclaimed albums, a host of singles and various re-mastered and re-mixed reissues.
