Four-time Grammy-nominated British artist Steven Wilson has announced a ahndful of UK live dates for October.
The announcement of the new dates follow the release of Steven's third solo album, 'The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)', which was released via Kscope on February 25th, 2013. Check out Stereoboard's review here.
Steven's current band is a collection of stellar musicians: lead guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Nick Beggs, Marco Minnemann on the drums, Theo Travis playing saxophone/flute, and Adam Holzman on keyboards. The record is engineered by legendary producer/engineer Alan Parsons and consists of 6 songs, 3 of which are 10+ minute epics and all are inspired by tales of the supernatural and ghost stories from the Victorian era.
“It’s less about what you see and more about what you imagine,” Steven says. “I love those stories by Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Machen. They’re macabre fairy tales. They have much more atmosphere than what we see in Hollywood horror cinema. It’s about a creeping sense of dread rather than something more explicit.”
Steven and his band hit the road earlier this month, beginning in the UK before moving into Europe. The tour will continue throughout 2013, returning to the UK in the autumn.
