The Overview (stylized as TH5 OV5R95W) is the upcoming eighth studio album by English progressive rock musician Steven Wilson, slated to be released on 14 March 2025 via Fiction Records. Featuring only two 20-minute tracks, it is expected to return to a progressive rock sound after Wilson had previously moved into more electronic territory with recent releases.
Background
[edit ]The record is a concept album about the Overview effect, a cognitive shift caused by viewing the Earth from space. This concept was utilized as a starting point for the sound of the record, which was described by Wilson as being similar to acts such as Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Vangelis in "a modern context".[1] Wilson has stated that the album is going to be considerably more progressive rock influenced than much of his recent work, stating that he felt the concept geared itself well to the genre.[1]
On 25 February 2025, the record premiered at the BFI IMAX alongside a commissioned film by Miles Skarin.[2] Alongside the main album, a deluxe edition titled The Alterview, featuring an additional hour of music, will be released.[3] A tour will also start in promotion of the record on 1 May 2025, his first headlining solo tour in over seven years.[1] [4]
