Steven Wilson’s 2017 release, To The Bone, represents a bold and ambitious evolution for the modern progressive icon. Released via Caroline International, this album sees Wilson pivoting toward "progressive pop," drawing inspiration from the sophisticated 80s artistry of Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, and Tears for Fears. It is a record that balances bright, hook-laden sensibilities with Wilson’s signature melodic depth and crisp, world-class production.
The album showcases a diverse sonic palette, ranging from the upbeat, ABBA-esque energy of "Permanating" to the atmospheric, brooding electronics of "Song of I." Long-time fans will find familiar ground in the lush, melancholic arrangements of the closing track "Song of Unborn" and the powerful vocal collaborations with Ninet Tayeb on tracks like "Pariah."
