The Overview

Steven Wilson releases his 8th studio album, "The Overview", on Fiction Records on March 14th, 2025. The 2 track, 42 minute, album is his most audacious to date, inspired by the overview effect experienced by astronauts looking back at the earth from space.

Available to pre-order now on a deluxe 3 disc earbook, limited edition red vinyl LP with poster, BluRay, CD and black vinyl LP.

"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 2 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.

The album also features a set of lyrics by XTC’s Andy Partridge that help drive the story in “Objects Outlive Us”.

"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.
