'Gracing For Drowning' the new album by Steven Wilson - trailer for Blu-ray edition now online featuring unseen videos

'Gracing For Drowning' the new album by Steven Wilson – trailer for Blu-ray edition now online featuring unseen videos

 

'Grace For Drowning', the new solo album from Steven Wilson will be available on Kscope from September 26th.

 

'Grace For Drowning' is the second album released under Wilson's own name, and builds on the artistic inroads he forged with 2009's exceptionally well-received 'Insurgentes.' A double album ('two 40-45 minute albums in the same package') Wilson has described it as "my biggest project to date".

 

The album will be released on CD, vinyl and download along with a Blu-ray edition of the album. The Blu-ray disc contains the album in 5.1 surround sound with accompanying video content. In addition to the video content, created by long-term collaborator Lasse Hoile, the Blu-ray disc also features bonus audio tracks, photo galleries, hand written notes and lyrics.

 

A trailer for the Blu-ray has just been added to the 'Grace For Drowning' mini-site. The trailer features clips of the videos for the tracks 'Like Dust I Have Cleared From My Eye' and 'Belle Du Jour' which have not previously been seen and will only be available on the Blu-ray. Three other videos (for the tracks 'Remainder The Black Dog', 'Index' and 'Postcard') are already available on the mini-site.

 

Please check the 'Grace For Drowning' mini-site for pre-order links for all editions of the album including the digital editions which are now available to pre-order from iTunes. This digital edition features two bonus tracks.

 

Steven Wilson is a twice Grammy-nominated producer, writer and performer, best known as founder and front man of British rock band Porcupine Tree. He has also produced and /or mixed albums for artists as diverse as Swedish metal band Opeth, Norwegian chanteuse Anja Garbarek, and progressive rock institution King Crimson. Last year, he also co-wrote and sang a track from  Pendulum's number one album 'Immersion'. Porcupine Tree's last album was a top 30 album in both the UK and USA, and the tour climaxed with sold out shows in October last year at Royal Albert Hall in  London and  Radio City Music Hall in New York.
