I found this incredible cover of 'Way Out of Here' by Porcupine Tree performed by Josie Charlwood. The lead songwriter of the band (Steven Wilson) is one of my all-time favourites so I went in sceptical, but I was blown away.

It's really impressive how much she manages to make the song her own. Here's a link to the original if you want to compare.

Oh wow, Porcupine Tree. Now there's a band I haven't thought of in a long time. Used to be very, very into In Absentia and Fear of a Blank Planet.

I'd probably say Fear of a Blank Planet is my favourite of theirs overall too. But yeah, they've been defunct for a few years now. Fortunately Steven Wilson's last couple of solo albums The Raven That Refused to Sing and Hand. Cannot. Erase. have been fantastic. I definitely recommend a listen if you want a prog fix.

There's also some great stuff on the collaborative album he did with Opeth's Mikael Ã…kerfeldt.
