Groundbreaking musician/songwriter/producer Steven Wilson has been honored with two prestigious GRAMMY® Award nominations for his acclaimed sixth album, THE FUTURE BITES, available everywhere now HERE. The album earned nods for “Best Immersive Audio Album” and “Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package,” marking Wilson’s fifth and sixth total career GRAMMY® nominations thus far.
THE FUTURE BITES is available now on all digital platforms, along with vinyl, CD, and a limited-edition deluxe box set that contains CDs of the album, an instrumental version of the album, bonus material (including six additional songs and several reworked versions of the album tracks), a cassette of demos, and a Blu-ray featuring videos and Wilson’s own 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos versions of the album (marking THE FUTURE BITES as the first contemporary album to be mixed and released in Dolby Atmos).
Co-produced in London by Wilson with David Kosten (Bat For Lashes, Everything Everything), THE FUTURE BITES sees Wilson exploring contemporary addiction and the lasting effect of ever-increasing technology on our daily lives. The album marks his most inventive and far-reaching musical construction to date, spanning soaring acoustics, lush electronica, relentless bass-driven grooves, murky funk, and so much more, all linked through powerfully focused songcraft and this one-of-a-kind artist’s always unique creative vision.
Hailed by Rolling Stone’s David Fricke for his “fighting spirit and truly progressive ideals in rock composition, group improvisation and emotionally authentic storytelling,” Wilson – whose eagerly awaited first book, A Limited Edition of One, will be published by Little, Brown on May 17, 2022 – is currently hard at work creating two new albums due in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

PRAISE FOR THE FUTURE BITES:
"Not prog, but always progress."
– THE GUARDIAN (4/5)
"Despite its dark, cautionary subject matter, The Future Bites is Steven Wilson’s
most powerful and commercially appealing set to date."
– AMERICAN SONGWRITER (4/5)
"It’s highly accessible music, yet — contrary to its theme —
there’s nothing corporate or cynically commercial about it."
– UNDER THE RADAR
"The Future Bites is a bold, captivating,
and fulfilling statement as only Wilson could create,
resulting in another testament to his singular and invaluable brilliance."
– POP MATTERS
“A great grown-up pop record…Wilson’s solo work has seen him embracing dance, electronica and pop, and becoming all the better for it.”
– MOJO (4/5)
“Maverick meta-pop…the great white hope of 21st century
Brit-prog ventures deeper into pastures new.”
– UNCUT (8/10)
“ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS: Be advised that STEVEN WILSON is an artist.
He’s not your musical bitch. If you can’t f**cking deal with that,
feel free to pull the emergency brake at any time and exit.”
