The Overview (album)

The Overview 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.

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".
