Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Steven Wilson has been described by The Telegraph as ‘probably the most successful British musician most people have never heard of’. His last three solo albums have made the top five in the UK, and he played to over a quarter of a million people on his last tour. A self-taught musician, songwriter and producer, Wilson grew up wanting to be a pop star. His early band No-Man signed for a major label but instead, he gained a dedicated following and chart success with his band Porcupine Tree, who eventually sold out the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2010 before a 12-year revival in 2022. Porcupine Tree are the subject of Nick Holmes’ first book in this series. Wilson became known as the ‘King of Prog’ when some of his solo albums featured long-form songs, virtuosic musicians and complex concepts. But he has always enjoyed surprising his fans, and his solo work also includes jazz, indie rock, pop and electronic music. Whatever the genre, his music shares strong melodies, profound lyrics, thoughtful concepts and high production values. Including Wilson’s latest album The Harmony Codex, this book is a forensic and illuminating analysis of Wilson’s solo albums, EPs and bonus tracks.
