By Prog Sphere on April 28, 2017

Steven Wilson has recently teased his upcoming fifth studio album, and while waiting for that to be released, the English musician also works as a manager for his own label Headphone Dust, which in the past mostly served as a home to some of his releases.

Last year Headphone Dust released its first non-Wilson release by a band called Fovea Hex, and now the label has announced the release of a new EP from the band titled The Salt Garden 2.

Wilson announced this via his official Facebook page, stating:

“‘The Salt Garden 2′ is the second in a series of 3 limited edition EPs released on Headphone Dust in conjunction with German label Die Stadt, and contains 4 brand new tracks, one of which is a collaboration with Brian Eno. The first EP was voted the best single of 2016 by influential website Brainwashed.com, and is now completely sold out.“

The Salt Garden 2 comes as a limited edition 10″ vinyl which also includes a CD of the EP. If you pre-order the EP from the Headphone Dust webstore you can also receive a bonus remix CD. The items ship starting from June 21st.
