Steven Wilson releases his eighth studio album, The Overview, on Fiction Records on 14th March 2025. The two track, forty-two-minute album is his most audacious to date, inspired by the “overview effect” 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. 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.

This is Vol. 7, "Aurora Drift":
"Where is this place? This temple? This ancient choir? These memories, faces, beings? What is this magic? This spell? The cast is strong, hypnotic, and then it ends as mysteriously as it began..."

"Stream for Consciousness" is a concept born from experimenting with various ways to create ethereal ambient soundscapes, targeting different moods and uses. Whether it be for meditation, relieving anxiety, music to sleep or study to, this project aims to create music to ease you into reaching a conscious state, through carefully crafted melodic pieces.

This Is Darkness
’m a huge fan of all things Lovecraftian, so I was thrilled when I discovered that the ever awesome Eighth Tower Records were releasing this dark ambient / post-industrial album from Nerthus. With eerie, otherworldly tracks full of dark menacing soundscapes and creepy field recordings, this is a wonderfully dark album that does an amazing job of capturing the essential essence of the Lovecraft mythos. Fantastic!
