Steven Wilson — 4 1/2 

140-gram vinyl 

Porcupine Tree founder's 2016 EP on 12" vinyl

An interim release between Hand. Cannot. Erase. and his next album, producer, engineer, multi-instrumentalist and four-time Grammy nominee Steven Wilson's 4 ½ comprises six tracks. Four of the songs originated during the sessions for Hand. Cannot. Erase. and one from the recording sessions for The Raven That Refused To Sing. The final track is a new version of "Don't Hate Me" — a song recorded by Porcupine Tree in 1998 — based on a live recording made on the recent tour of Europe, with additional recording in the studio. The vocals on this new version are sung as a duet between Wilson and Ninet Tayeb who featured on Hand. Cannot. Erase. & 2018's To the Bone.

Produced & mixed by Steven Wilson, 4 ½ features a stellar group of musicians contributing to the LP which include Adam Holzman (keyboards), Nick Beggs (bass), Guthrie Govan (guitar), Dave Kilminster (guitar), Marco Minnemann (drums), Chad Wackerman (drums), Craig Blundell (drums) & Theo Travis.

The artwork features photography by longtime collaborator Lasse Hoile & designed by Carl Glover. Porcupine Tree's 2022 album CLOSURE // CONTINUATION debuted at No. 2 in the Official Album Charts & No. 1 in Netherlands & Switzerland Album Charts.

The album is available on single 140-gram black vinyl LP.
