Steven Wilson: The Future Bites

This album showcases Steven Wilson's exploration of how the human brain has evolved amidst the rise of the Internet. Each track presents a unique sonic landscape, from the electronic intricacies of "King Ghost" to the soaring acoustics of "12 Things I Forgot." The relentless bass-driven grooves of "Follower" and the swampy funk of "Eminent Sleaze" further highlight Wilson's versatility as a musician.

Recorded in London and co-produced by David Kosten and Steven Wilson, The Future Bites reflects on 21st-century addictions and the impact of technology on our lives. Unlike the more dire themes of his previous work, such as 2017's To The Bone, this album offers a curious perspective on current societal issues. It encourages listeners to consider the effects of retail therapy, social media influence, and the struggle for individuality in a hyper-connected world.
