Porcupine Tree celebrate their upcoming North and South American tour dates with the release of a new film for the track Herd Culling, which is taken from the band's recently released No. 2 reunion album Closure/Continuation.
Porcupine Tree kick off their US tour dates, the band's first live dates for 12 years, in Toronto's Meridian Hall on September 10.
“For the forthcoming Porcupine Tree tour, a number of new films have been created which we hope many of you will get to experience on a big scale in the context of concert performance," the band say. "As a preview, we have decided to release a “small screen” version of Miles Skarin’s incredible new short film for Herd Culling in advance of the tour. We hope you enjoy.”
“For Herd Culling, we were really excited to be able to test the limits of our small team creatively," adds director Skarin. "We did a lot of research into the mysteries and conspiracy theories around Skinwalker Ranch in Utah and what may/may not be happening there.
“The painstaking process of animating and rendering the Wolf, who we named Tarquin after the title of Porcupine Tree’s first cassette release, alongside building the environments and landscapes of Skinwalker Ranch was incredibly time consuming but we are so proud of the finished result. We believe Herd Culling represents our best animation work to date and we really hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as we did making it.”
Porcupine Tree end their North and South American trek in Chile on October 7. They start their European jaunt in Germany on October 21 and play London's SSE Arena in Wembley on November 11. Full dates below.
