The excellent band no-man whose core members consist of Steven Wilson on instrumentation and Tim Bowness’ amazing voice is set to release their next studio album entitled “Schoolyard Ghosts” on May 12th.

What gives this a Crim spin is that this album features some guest appearances from Pat Mastelotto and Gavin Harrison amongst many others, in fact, here’s a snippet of the writeup:

A distinctive combination of beautifully detailed songwriting, haunting melodies and inventively cinematic production, ‘Schoolyard Ghosts’ sees Tim and Steven expanding the band’s sonic palette yet again by collaborating with (amongst others) Californian pedal steel guitar ace Bruce Kaphan (American Music Club, Red House Painters), drummers Pat Mastelotto(King Crimson, Mastica) and Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson), saxophonist/flautist Theo Travis, and the London Session Orchestra arranged by Dave Stewart(Hatfield & The North, Egg, Stewart & Gaskin etc).

 A new no-man album by itself it’s pretty exciting, but add in these other elements, and you’ve certainly piqued my interest!  Further details are available at no-man’s site linked above or check out the album’s minisite HERE and be sure to check out the haunting video!
