Steven Wilson will release his eighth solo album The Overview via Fiction Records on March 14 – and it marks his long-awaited return to prog territory.
The follow-up to 2023’s The Harmony Codex, the 42-minute concept album features just two epic songs, the 23-minute Objects Outlive Us and the 18-and-a-half minute title track. It hinges around the idea of what Wilson calls “perspective”. It stems from a conversation the musician had with Alexander Milas, founder of the Space Rocks organisation, who introduced the musician to something called “The Overview Effect”.
