Steven Wilson - Insurgentes

Steven Wilson - Insurgentes

Steven Wilsons (Porcupine Tree, No-Man, Blackfield, Incredible Expanding Mindfuck, Bass Communion m.m.) debut under det egna namnet, endast ute som super duper deluxe-edition ännu, släpps som "vanligt" album i början av 2009. Än så länge är jag ruggigt imponerad!

Steven Wilson mentions post-punk shoe gazer music as a major influence for the album, citing bands like Joy Division and The Cure. He says the album is also very noise and drone-oriented.

Bland favoriterna än så länge finns Port Rubicon, Harmony Korine, No Twilight Within the Courts of the Sun och Collecting Space. Känns dock som en skiva som bara fortsätter att växa ju mer man lyssna på den. Galet djup och ett halvt ton layers som alltid med Wilson :)
