A distinctive combination of beautifully detailed songwriting, haunting melodies and inventively cinematic production, Schoolyard Ghosts sees No-Man's Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson expanding the band's sonic palette by collaborating with, amongst others, Theo Travis (David Sylvian/Gong), Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson), Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), and the London Session Orchestra (arranged by Canterbury music legend, Dave Stewart).

Featuring the sweetly hypnotic "Wherever There Is Light," the warped dynamics of "Pigeon Drummer," and the subtly evolving explorations of the uplifting 13 minute semi-orchestral epic "Truenorth," Schoolyard Ghosts reveals the band taking its music to an even more focused and personalised place than before.

The CD/DVD-A comes in a lavish digi-pack with booklet and also features a 5.1 mix of the album, a photo gallery and videos for 3 songs.

The No-Man Store edition comes with an exclusive 6 track, 20 minute, bonus disc of alternates and edits.

Officially released on May 12th, the No-Man Store edition ships late April/early May.

A Schoolyard Ghosts t-shirt is also available for pre-order.
