“The song PERSONAL SHOPPER sits somewhere between being a love-letter to shopping (which I love to do!) and the uneasiness I feel about the more insidious side of modern consumerism. Lucretia’s blackly comic video captures that dilemma perfectly.” – Steven Wilson Pre-order the new album ‘THE FUTURE BITES’ – https://stevenwilson.lnk.to/TheFutureBites Stream/buy ‘PERSONAL SHOPPER’: https://stevenwilson.lnk.to/PersonalShopper “The track is a social criticism … Read More

The third song from The Future Bites sessions is Drown With Me, performed with a drum machine, piano, and 2 acoustic guitars (one Nashville strung). Written in 2001, a version of the song was recorded the following year by Porcupine Tree during the In Absentia sessions, but this session version is based on the original demo which has a different … Read More

The second in The Future Bites Sessions series is a version of Collapse The Light Into Earth. This song was originally released as the closing track on Porcupine Tree’s 2002 album In Absentia. That version was written and mostly recorded in my home studio in 2001 during the immediate aftermath of 9/11, with Richard Barbieri adding to it later during … Read More

Like most musicians I’m currently unable to tour or perform in front of a live audience, so instead I’m starting a live in the studio video series called THE FUTURE BITES SESSIONS, creating new stripped down versions of songs in my own studio. Appropriately for Halloween 🎃 the first one is a performance of new single KING GHOST.

Steven Wilson releases a new track today (October 29th). KING GHOST is taken from Steven’s sixth album THE FUTURE BITES, due out on January 29th 2021 via Caroline International. As you’d hope from a track of this title, KING GHOST is spectral and gloriously otherworldly, an almost impossibly beautiful piece that arrives on a low bass pulse and centres around … Read More

Following the release of PERSONAL SHOPPER earlier in the year, a second track from THE FUTURE BITES is out online today. EMINENT SLEAZE is a wholly unethical life lesson strapped to a piece of grimy, low-slung funk, and as much a departure from Steven’s previous records as its immediate predecessor (watch Miles Skarin’s end times video for the track below). … Read More

Many of you will know that back in 2004 I co-wrote a film screenplay with my close friend, TV commercial director Mike Bennion. The screenplay was for a surreal ghost story called Deadwing, set in London with a film sound engineer David as its central character. I started work writing songs for the soundtrack, but when we couldn’t get the … Read More
