NewsSteven Wilson / Requiem For A Village
New studio album
Pre-order SDE exclusive blu-ray with slipcase with alt artwork
Steven Wilson will release his new studio album, Requiem For A Village in November.
Previewed earlier this year in London at a few special Atmos playback events, the album is described as “a haunting, cinematic journey into a village that exists beyond time and place” and as his most “intimate and imaginative work yet”.
I would tend to agree – this could be Wilson’s best record for a decade. It blends dark folk, rock and electronica, as the album unfolds as a continuous 54-minute “film for the ears,” populated by strange archetypes and eerie folklore. The album is narrated by actor David Tennant (‘Doctor Who’) and written with XTC’s Andy Partridge.
The album is available on CD, 2LP vinyl and blu-ray audio, with the SDE shop offering an exclusive slipcased blu-ray with alt cover art.
As you might expect there is also a deluxe book edition which is available via SW’s official shop. This 2CD+blu-ray edition has bonus disc with 47 mins of music not on the album and a blu-ray which includes stereo instrumentals and CD 2 in hi-res (neither are included on the standalone blu-ray).
Requiem For A Village will be released on 6 November 2026 via Fiction. Pre-order the SDE exclusive blu-ray with the slipcase or the 2LP green vinyl via the SDE shop using this link or the button below.
