Steven Wilson is among the U.K.'s most acclaimed and prolific artists. As a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader, he made a gradual transition from cult status with Porcupine Tree, Bass Communion, No-Man, and Blackfield to mainstream success as a charting solo artist in the 21st century with 2011's Grace for Drowning, 2013's The Raven That Refused to Sing and Other Stories, and 2015's Top 40 prog-pop concept album Hand.Cannot.Erase. He followed with 2016's 4½, a six-track mini-album, and in 2017 released To the Bone, a collection that reflected his love of progressive pop. He continued that exploration with a meld of varying pop genres on 2021's The Future Bites, following with an album recorded in isolation, 2023's The Harmony Codex. He returned to recording and issued the two-track, experimental prog recording The Overview.
