A haunting, cinematic journey into a village that exists beyond time and place, Requiem For A Village is Steven Wilson’s most intimate and imaginative work yet. Blending dark folk, rock and electronica, the album unfolds as a continuous 54-minute “film for the ears,” populated by strange archetypes and eerie folklore. The album is narrated by David Tennant and written with Andy Partridge (XTC).
Steven Wilson is one of contemporary music’s definitive auteurs. A six-time Grammy nominee and founding member of Porcupine Tree, Wilson’s last three solo albums have all been top 5 in the UK. His most recent albums have garnered career best reviews, including one that noted Wilson had somehow pulled off the unusual trick of being able to do whatever he wants, whilst still achieving a level of commercial success.
A pioneer in the world of spatial audio, Wilson has recently remixed New Order, The Who, King Crimson, Suede, XTC and Tears For Fears among many others.
