VMG and Rough Trade Berlin present a Dolby Atmos screening of 'The Overview', the accompanying film to Steven Wilson's new album. 'The Overview' is available for pre-order on www.roughtrade.com and at the film screening.

Steven Wilson, the world-renowned producer, remixer, originator and songwriter, has announced details of his eighth studio album, 'The Overview', which is due for release on Fiction Records on 14th March 2025.

The forty-two-minute album is Steven’s most audacious to date. It consists of just two tracks: "Objects Outlive Us" and "The Overview", each inspired by the “overview effect” experienced by astronauts looking back at the Earth from space.

The two wildly ambitious tracks are each made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the other, playing out as unique and continuous pieces. Wilson’s 21st-century progressive music updates the classic ‘prog’ musical palette to incorporate everything from glistening electronics to post-rock and beyond, which brings the genre right into the beating heart of the current musical landscape.

Although initially a solo recording, the finished version of The Overview features studio help from regular collaborators Craig Blundell (drums), Adam Holzman (keyboards) and Randy McStine (guitars) alongside a set of lyrics from XTC’s Andy Partridge that help form the story that drives Objects Outlive Us.

The Overview' is accompanied by a full-length film made by regular Steven Wilson collaborator Miles Skarin.
