PORCUPINE TREE frontman STEVEN WILSON has set a February 25, 2013 release date for his new solo album, The Raven that Refused to Sing (and Other Stories).

More than merely a collection of songs, Wilson's third solo album is an audio experiment in time travel.

Recorded in Los Angeles, in 2012, the six song set channels an early 70's aesthetic from the dawn of progressive rock and jazz fusion. The result is a sonic adventure through dynamic suites and rhythmic complexities.

Recorded using most vintage gear, and inspired by stories of the supernatural, The Raven that Refused to Sing (and other stories) also features several notable nods to 'the age of the album,' – Wilson's lush arrangements, Alan Parsons engineering and the appearance of the legendary Mellotron used to record King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King.

The limited 4-disc deluxe edition (Blu-ray, DVD and 2CD) is packaged in an impressive 128-page hardback book containing lyrics, short stories by Wilson, and haunting images and illustrations by Hajo Mueller.

Standard double vinyl, CD and Blu-Ray editions will also be available.

To promote the release, STEVEN WILSON will tour Europe in March and North America in April, with additional dates to follow.
