Steven Wilson, four-time Grammy nominee, multi-instrumentalist and producer, released of his highly acclaimed fourth studio album, Hand. Cannot. Erase.
His fourth album Hand. Cannot. Erase. took it all to the next level. Taking inspiration from an astonishing and chillingly true story of a 38 year-old girl called Joyce Vincent who died alone in a bedsit in Wood Green in 2003 and, through a perfect storm of tragic circumstances, remained undiscovered for over two years. Hand. Cannot. Erase. perfected a lyrical and melodic journey of living in the city in today’s day and age.
Whilst progressive rock has always been a part of his musical vocabulary, stylistically, Wilson has never been exclusively tied to the genre, seen with his work on Hand. Cannot. Erase., Steven commented, “The album has given me the chance to bring in other elements of my musical repertoire”. Wilson’s flag-waving fondness for the album format is simply evangelical, with Hand. Cannot. Erase. exhibiting musical genius at its best.
Wilson has always excelled at piano ballads, and the melancholic tones of ‘First Regret’ are of no exception, whilst ‘Hand. Cannot. Erase.’ provides a spontaneous energy affiliated with Wilson’s recognisable style. The meticulous composition in Happy Returns and overall exquisite coordination of this highly anticipated album will not disappoint.
