CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED SECOND ALBUM FROM STEVEN WILSON AVAILABLE ON DOUBLE LP.

Steven Wilson, four-time Grammy nominee, multi-instrumentalist, producer & founder member of Porcupine Tree, released his critically acclaimed third solo album ‘The Raven Refused To Sing’ in 2013, reaching #28 in the UK charts & #3 in Germany.

In 2017, he shot back into the charts with his fifth solo album ‘To The Bone’ at #3 in the UK & #2 in Germany, which built on the success of fourth solo album ‘Hand. Cannot. Erase.’, which reached #13 in the UK & #3 in Germany.

Originally released in 2011, ‘Grace For Drowning’ is the second solo album from Wilson. A more experimental & more eclectic record it built on the artistic inroads he forged with 2009’s exceptionally well-received Insurgentes. It is a modern homage to the late 60’s & early 70’s spirit of using the album as an artist’s primary means of expression; combining jazz, classical & psychedelic music to create “journeys in sound”.

‘For me the golden period for music was the late sixties & early seventies, when the album became the primary means of artistic expression, when musicians liberated themselves from the 3-minute pop song format & started to draw on jazz & classical music especially, combining it with the spirit of psychedelia to create “journeys in sound”. So, without being retro, ‘my album is a kind of homage to that spirit. There’s everything from [Ennio] Morricone-esque film themes to choral music to piano ballads to a 23-minute progressive jazz-inspired piece’ – Steven Wilson
