Episode 57 – Steven Wilson Part 1, Insurgentes & Grace for Drowning
Paul and Joe begin a short segment on Steven Wilson solo records starting with Insurgentes and Grace for Drowning. These two records show Steven Wilson finding his footing as a solo artist and exploring the musical canvasses he wants to use in this phase of his career. While looking for ways to destroy mp3 players, SW was creating beautiful and haunting sonic sketches which both build off his prior experience and point towards his later albums. These two records showcase abstract song structures, elusive song meanings, 80’s influences and the Tony Levin effect. Joe’s dog Buddy makes a lighthearted sonic appearance while Joe and Paul find much to recommend these two titles.
