Steven Wilson announces solo album “The Harmony Codex”, new single out now

Steven Wilson has released a new single, “Economies Of Scale“, alongside an official music video, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Charlie Di Placido. The new single is the first off Wilson‘s seventh solo album, “The Harmony Codex”, out on September 29 via Spinefarm Records in a wide range of formats — including CD, 2LP, Blu-ray, digital download, and deluxe 3-disc limited edition.

The new album was written, performed, and produced by Wilson, and brings a patchwork of memory and reflection, breaking the notion of genre. Made in a studio located in the garage of a North London townhouse, Wilson put the album together with remote assistance from friends and fellow artists, such as Ninet Tayeb, Craig Blundell, Adam Holzman, Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto) and Sam Fogarino (Interpol). They added their own individual style to Wilson‘s already elaborate musical vision.

“The Harmony Codex” will also be available in a deluxe 3-disc limited edition with an exclusive hardcover book. The expanded release fetures “Harmonic Distortion”, a 77-minute reimagining of the album featuring alternate versions and remixes by Manic Street Preachers, Roland Orzabal (Tears For Fears), Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth), Interpol, Meat Beat Manifesto, Faultline and Radiophonic Workshop. The set also includes a deluxe version of “The Harmony Codex” Blu-ray featuring Hi-Res 96/24 stereo, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos mixes, two videos, and exclusive instrumental mixes of the full album in Hi-Res 96/24 stereo, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos. The limited-edition set also includes an exclusive 100-page hardcover book, designed by longtime visual collaborator Carl Glover and featuring artwork by Hajo Mueller, created in close collaboration with Wilson during the making of the album.
