Known for an intense work ethic, Steven Wilson is among the U.K.'s most acclaimed and prolific artists. As a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and bandleader, Wilson made a gradual transition from cult status with Porcupine Tree, Bass Communion, No-Man, and Blackfield to mainstream success as a charting solo artist in the 21st century with 2011's Grace for Drowning, 2013's The Raven That Refused to Sing and Other Stories, and 2015's Top 40 prog-pop concept album Hand.Cannot.Erase. He followed with a 4½, a six-track mini album, and in 2017 released To the Bone, a collection that reflected his love of progressive pop. He continued that exploration with a meld of meld of varying pop genres on 2021's The Future Bites.
