Steven Wilson releases his eighth studio album, The Overview, on Fiction Records. The two track, forty-two-minuteâ album is his most audacious to date, inspired by the âoverview effectâ experienced by astronauts looking back at the Earth from space.
The Overview sees Wilson return to expansive, progressive music, a genre he helped redefine and repopularise with both his solo and Porcupine Tree releases. The two wildly ambitious tracks are each made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the other, playing out as unique and continuous pieces. Wilsonâs 21st-century progressive music updates the classic âprogâ musical palette to incorporate everything from glistening electronics to post-rock and beyond, which brings the genre right into the beating heart of the current musical landscape.
The album also features a set of lyrics by XTCâs Andy Partridge that help drive the story in âObjects Outlive Usâ.
The Overview is instantly recognisable as Steven Wilson and will stand alone as an utterly unique release for 2025. Headphones and a wide-open mind are recommended.
