Steven Wilson - Shares New Song


Steven Wilson has released his new track, titled "Permanating". It appears on his upcoming album, To The Bone, which will launch on August 18th via Caroline International. The tracks "Pariah" and "Song Of I" have already given us a taste of the new album's musical direction, but "Permanating" sounds more pop oriented. You can judge for yourself by listening to it below.




Steven Wilson comments: "'Permanating' represents a departure from the rest of the album and the more melancholic material I'm known for in that it's probably the most joyous piece of pure pop I've ever recorded. In my mind this is what ABBA and Electric Light Orchestra would sound like as produced by Daft Punk! While I expect it to create healthy debate amongst my listeners, it's one of the songs I'm most proud of on the new record because it's such a different approach for me, and I thrive from changing my sound and trying new things. Production of a video for the song is in progress, news on that soon. In the meantime, hope you enjoy!"

You can have a look here at photos by Lasse Hoile and Carl Glover during the shooting of the upcoming video for "Permanating" with a 50 strong Bollywood dancer flash mob, on a sunny day at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich.

I can hear Abba in this but not Daft Punk. Unfortunately.

I like it, and hopefully it will work within the context of the full album. There were pop-sounding songs on the last album that worked.

Yeah, not really liking this one. I guess I only liked "Pariah" so far.

Wilson always infused pop in his bands, so that isn't really surprising. This song just isn't that good.

Compared to Steven Wilson's earlier stuff this is mediocre, but as a song it's great and I wish all pop music are like that. I just don't mind anything this dude releases and as someone who listens to all kinds of music I wouldn't mind a pop album with Steven's touch to it.
