The Itself of Itself is the tenth studio album by English musician, songwriter, and producer Steven Wilson under the stage name Bass Communion, released in Europe on 24 May, 2024[1] and in the US on 30 May 2024.
[3] To promote the album's release, Wilson performed a set as Bass Communion at Cafe Oto in London on 18 May, as part of a bill of various Fourth Dimension Records artists.
[4] According to Bass Communion's Bandcamp page, "The Itself of Itself was selected from ten years worth of recordings, the ones chosen being those that [Steven Wilson] felt added something a bit different to the catalogue.
"[2] The album has been described as "unsettling, disturbing, challenging, and uneasy"[5] in regards to the experimental and often harsh nature of the sounds.
[7] The package features a deluxe gatefold card cover, with a 24 page booklet of photographs and an OBI strip, designed by Carl Glover.
