"The Same Asylum as Before" Streaming Here

It's also streaming on YouTube.

Very good track. Reminds me of some of the more riffy yet catchy Porcupine Tree.



5/8/17 10:51PM-5/9/17 10:36AM

edit: official site's details including cover and some Tour dates (Europe so far)


Per the below link, the title is To the Bone and will be released on August 18th.

The image below I don't believe is a confirmed cover art, but who knows, maybe it'll end up being the cover or in the artwork for the album.

The video below is for "Pariah" and as noted, features Ninet Tayeb whose been working with Steven now for a few years (and was on Hand.Cannot.Erase if I recall).

There's also a little clip linked below from Facebook that show the track list.

Also among other details about this album (progressive pop in the vein of Peter Gabriel's So as noted in the link below), Andy Partridge of XTC (who recently wrote a great tune "You Bring the Summer" for The Monkees last album), co-wrote 2 songs I guess on this album. Which the description of "progressive pop" seems fitting in a lot of ways.

"progressive Pop" when done well, is actually one of my favorites kinds of music; and Steven has good history in that style with many songs from Porcupine Tree, Blackfield and his Solo records at times.

Also the title. It's odd how there's a lyric I recall in the new Pain of Salvation album that uses that? and also years ago, Oceansize used that phrase on Everyone into Position I recall. Common phrase, I know, but those 2 come to mind.

Steven Wilson: Question and Answer (Early August 2016)

http://stevenwilsonhq.com/sw/for-those-that-missed-it-steven-wilson-facebook-live-qa-session/

I actually haven't finished the entire thing, but a lot of it. And and I'm up against the clock. But I'll try and include a few points:

-New album..will include more electronic elements, but still be Rock. Also feature the female vocalist Ninet Tayeb? from HCE and 4 1/2 (+ at many live shows)

-he doesn't hate Auto-Tune, just how it's used, lol.

-he doesn't foresee a SW cruise, but also he might be up for a 1-off festival of all his projects and bands.

-there may be another Storm Corrosion album, but maybe not. Him and Mikael may work together again but may never share what they do, while hanging out, drinking wine and making some kind of music.

-He would like to look into doing music for movies, perhaps after the current record he's making right now.....Deadwing movie? (a question I would love to pose to him, although his answer probably wouldn't be all that different than what he says in this video).

edit: the whole thing is here on YouTube as well.

Steven Wilson - Hand Cannot Erase [Official Video]

I guess this is the video that Steven showed on tour, which from memory, I don't recall. Nice video regardless. Longtime collaborator artist Lasse Holle's work again.
