Grace for Drowning is the second album released under Wilson’s own name, and builds on the artistic inroads he forged with 2009’s exceptionally well-received Insurgentes. A double album (‘two 40-45 minute albums in the same package’) Wilson has described it as “my biggest project to date”.

Grace for Drowning, looks set to be equally well-received. Terrorizer have described it as ‘a dense yet extremely coherent album, Grace For Drowning succeeds brilliantly… Prog album of the year, no less.’ (5/5), Classic Rock have proclaimed ‘Grace For Drowning is an album that can’t really be described but it urgently calls to be heard’ while Record Collector stated: ‘there is an overwhelming sense of awe, a majestic soundscape created by an innovative, forward-looking musician immersed in the history of music… its epic vision will always reward revisits.’

All songs written and composed by Steven Wilson. Mentioned collaborations to the album so far include Nic France on drums, Steve Hackett on lead guitar, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, Nick Beggs and Trey Gunn on warr guitar, Theo Travis and Jordan Rudess, and some jazz musicians.
