Product Description

Steve Wilson – The Harmony Codex (CD)

RELEASE DATE: 29th September 2023

THE HARMONY CODEX – the seventh album by Steven Wilson – takes you on a trip. A genre-
spanning collection that opens up like a musical puzzle box, it presents a series of endlessly
beautiful vistas that roll out and shift in front of you. Arguably the best album Wilson has made
during a career that’s spanned more than three decades both as a band leader and as a solo artist,
it represents the apotheosis of a life spent fully absorbed in music.
While The Harmony Codex nods to records from Steven Wilson’s recent past, at times echoing the
paranoid rumble of 2008’s Insurgentes, the crystalline electronics of 2021’s The Future Bites and
the expansive storytelling of 2013’s The Raven That Refused To Sing (and Other Stories), here he
has managed to create something entirely unique, a record that exists outside of the notion of
genre. And although The Harmony Codex is a record made with spatial audio in mind, it’s not one
that needs an elaborate sound system to lift you out of body – two speakers and an open mind will
do just fine.
Steven Wilson is a singular talent, an artist/producer, his last album – 2021’s The Future Bites –
charted at No 4 in the UK and was nominated for 2 Grammys. He is the founding
member of Porcupine Tree, whose last album (2022’s Closure/Continuation) charted at No 2.
Steven has also received multiple Grammy nominations for his spatial audio work, having recently
remixed artists such as Chic, King Crimson, ABC, Roxy Music, A Ha, Suede, Tears for Fears and
Guns N’ Roses.
