Steven Wilson’s THE FUTURE BITES

For fans of Steven Wilson’s progressive rock-infused solo career, his sixth solo adventure, THE FUTURE BITES, may seem like a bit of an unexpected change in direction. However, to those intimately familiar with his 35+ year career, Wilson has explored these roads before; the dark pop influences found in No-Man, Blackfield, the Cover Version series and Porcupine Tree’s mid-period Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun, the ambient textures embedded in Bass Communion and Continuum, and the electronic krautrock experiments of I.E.M. all collide on the THE FUTURE BITES, a nine-song collection of concept art, stark commentary and analog soundworlds that, like a great film, reveals itself more and more with each listen. I was honored to sit down with Steven and dig into his latest creation.
