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.
