Requiem for a Village

Uncommon card · No. 89739

Requiem for a Village is the upcoming ninth studio album by English progressive rock musician Steven Wilson, set to be released on 6 November 2026 via Fiction Records. The concept album is set in an isolated, fictional village somewhere in the British Isles, whose inhabitants maintain their own customs and traditions. It takes inspiration from the 1975 British folk horror film of the same name, as well as British folk music, literature and television programmes from the late 1960s and early 1970s. The album features spoken-word passages written by Andy Partridge and narrated by actor David Tennant. Musically, Wilson combines progressive rock with folk and experimental elements, adopting an analogue-oriented recording approach that deliberately embraces imperfections and spontaneous performances. Contributors include multi-instrumentalist Randy McStine, drummer Russell Holzman and vocalist Katherine Priddy.
