Steven Wilson, the world-renowned producer, remixer, originator and songwriter, has announced details of his eighth studio album, The Overview, which is due for release on Fiction Records on 14th March 2025.
The forty-two-minute album is Steven’s most audacious to date. It consists of just two tracks: Objects Outlive Us and The Overview, each inspired by the “overview effect” experienced by astronauts looking back at the Earth from space.
The Overview sees Steven 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. Wilson’s 21st-century progressive music updates the classic ‘prog’ 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.
