Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree has announced a new solo album, The Harmony Codex, and has shared the lead single “Economies of Scale” ahead of the LP’s September 29th release date.
The song lets Wilson — a renowned producer in his own right — explore his soulful side, as he builds layers of vocal harmonies around a pitter-pattering electronic rhythm that casts an early-aughts Radiohead vibe.
“I’m happy to announce my seventh album The Harmony Codex,” wrote Wilson on his website. “This one is a real trip, a beautiful and experimental 65-minute labyrinth of a record, with almost every one of its 10 tracks taking a different musical approach.”
Wilson also teased the follow-up single, “Impossible Tightrope,” which will be released next week. Wilson described the song as “completely different” than “Economies of Scale”: a “mostly instrumental 11-minute hybrid of progressive rock, spiritual jazz, and electronica.”
“More songs from the album will follow in the weeks leading up to release, including my latest collaboration with Ninet Tayeb,” Wilson added. “But really I hope you will all get to hear the album as intended — a musical journey, or a piece of ‘cinema for the ears.'”
The Harmony Codex will be released in a standard 10-track format, as well as in triple-disc deluxe box set form. The latter comes with a 100-page book and includes a second disc of remixes, outtakes, and reimagined versions by Manic Street Preachers, Roland Orzabal (Tears for Fears), Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth), Interpol, and more. A third Blu-Ray disc includes hi-fi lossless, Atmos, 5.1 surround, and other boutique audio formats. Pre-order the standard vinyl edition via Townsend Music and the 3-disc deluxe version via this location.
