Cult star Steven Wilson can best be described as a Renaissance man – aside from his prolific work with Porcupine Tree (and a string of other bands), the multi-instrumentalist has genre-blended seven solo albums – with the forthcoming eighth, The Overview, dropping in March, a return to form of sorts to prog with a conceptual throughline, 11 years after his Guthrie Govan-featuring opus The Raven That Refused to Sing (and Other Stories).
Most notably, Porcupine Tree’s Randy McStine contributes to the record by bringing back the extended guitar solo on Objects Outlive Us, albeit with a more contemporary twist.
