Grace Under Pressure – An Interview with Steven Wilson

This I am convinced is going to be a STUNNER. On his second solo album, Grace for Drowning released September 27 on K-Scope, the frontman of the rock band Porcupine Tree has forged an unusual sonic alchemy of progressive rock, textural electronica, piano-pop balladry, soundtrack-like soundscapes, doom rock . . . and jazz. full article …

‘The Whole Love’ from Wilco

The Whole Love – Wilco - heard some of it on NPR yesterday – they reviewed it VERY well – have to say – what I heard I liked. Leave the main threads to Mr. BobbyG – who doubtless will follow through.

Steven Wilson – Grace For Drowning

Well – first review I have seen – and glowing is the word. This is not an album that will appeal to everyone. It is hard work at times and it takes a good few listens to fully appreciate, but the reward of perseverance is astonishing. Don’t expect Wilson to break into the mainstream with …

q34160c2hs5

Just caught this one across the writes. ONe for my shopping list. The sound of this album is very different form anything we’ve heard from him before, even if his musical and lyrical signatures are all over it; they pick up where Gift of Screws left off.
