Steven Wilson | Requiem For A Village
Requiem For A Village is an evocative, cinematic journey into a village that exists beyond time and space, and is Steven Wilson's most intimate and imaginative work to date. The album blends dark folk, rock and electronica and unfolds as a cohesive 54-minute long "film for the ears", populated by mysterious archetypes and eerie folklore. The album features narration by David Tennant and was written in collaboration with Andy Partridge (XTC).
Steven Wilson is one of our time's most prominent musical auteurs. He is a six-time Grammy nominee and co-founder of Porcupine Tree, and his latest three solo albums have all reached the top 5 on the British album chart. His latest album has also received some of the best reviews of his career, including one review that noted that Steven Wilson has unusually managed to do exactly what he wants, while also achieving significant commercial success.
Wilson is also a pioneer in spatial audio and has in recent years created highly acclaimed new mixes for, among others, New Order, The Who, King Crimson, Suede, XTC, and Tears For Fears.
