Steven Wilson announces new album 'The Overview', set for release on March 14, 2025

The Overview features two lengthy compositions, each comprising multiple distinctive musical sections that seamlessly transition into one another. This structure allows the album to explore a diverse range of sounds, from shimmering electronics to post-rock elements, creating a continuous and immersive listening experience. Notably, the track "Objects Outlive Us" includes lyrics penned by Andy Partridge of XTC, adding a lyrical depth that complements the album's thematic ambitions.

For audiophiles, The Overview is available in several high-fidelity formats. These include a standalone Blu-ray with Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound, hi-res stereo, and instrumental versions. Additionally, fans can choose from various colored vinyl editions, with the mint green variant being a standout option. The deluxe edition offers a comprehensive package, featuring a 2CD set accompanied by a Blu-ray that includes the main album, a bonus CD titled The Alterview with 60 minutes of additional music, and an orchestral rendition of "Objects Outlive Us" named "Orchestral Objects."

During a special preview event in North London last November, the album was showcased in Dolby Atmos, revealing its ambitious and impressive scope. The meticulous production and intricate arrangements underscore Wilson's mastery of progressive music, promising a compelling addition to his extensive discography. The Overview is now available for pre-order, with the standalone Blu-ray and mint green vinyl available through the SDE shop, and the deluxe edition accessible via the official Steven Wilson store.
