Steven Wilson - Hand Cannot Erase (Super Deluxe) (2015) [Hi-Res]

The fourth solo album from prolific songwriter, four-time Grammy-nominated artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Steven Wilson. Hand. Cannot Erase. is a dynamic 11-song conceptual set, bringing together diverse aspects of his expansive sonic history.

Wilson describes the collection as inspired by a news story, of a woman who died in her apartment and went undiscovered for three years. The basic concept of the record it's about a woman growing up, who goes to live in the city, very isolated, and she disappears one day and no one notices. Now, your initial reaction when you hear a story like that is, 'Ah, little old bag lady that no one notices; no one cares about.' But she was young; she was popular; she was attractive; she had many friends; she had family, but for whatever reason, nobody missed her for three years.; The dramatic theme of Hand. Cannot. Erase. is punctuated with moments of rhythmic urgency, somber introspection, and soaring beauty.

„Hand.Cannot.Erase.“ follows the critical and commercial success of „The Raven That Refused To Sing“ (Germany #3, UK# 28) released in February 2013, and a run of sold-out shows around the world including London’s Royal Albert Hall. Steven will embark on an extensive „An Evening With Steven Wilson“ European tour in March & April 2015.
