Returning prog rock heroes Porcupine Tree have released a third single from their first new album in twelve years, “Closure / Continuation“. That song is titled “Rats Return” and you can check it out via the below Ricky Allen directed music video.
The band’s Steven Wilson commented:
“‘Rats Return‘ is about those who claim to have the interests of the people at heart, but when it comes down to it there is only ego and self-interest. I find myself reflecting on what sort of person would actually be so driven as to want to rule over a whole nation, and aren’t these people by definition the very last people that should be allowed to do so? The rats will always save themselves first.”
