Song of the Day: Steven Wilson – What Life Brings

Posted on by Paul in Song of the Day | Leave a comment

Most people, after releasing a new album from a long-dormant band, might be content to rest on their laurels for a bit. Steven Wilson is not most people.

Just a little over a year after the release of Closure/Continuation, which saw Wilson reuniting with (most of) his bandmates in Porcupine Tree for their first release since 2009, Wilson is back with his latest solo album, The Harmony Codex, with that album itself following fairly close on the heels of Wilson’s previous solo album, 2021’s The Future Bites. Clearly, this guy likes to keep himself busy.

The Harmony Codex is out September 29 via Virgin Records. Check out the video below for latest single “What Life Brings.”

Song of the Day: Teenage Fanclub – Back To The Light

Posted on by Paul in Albums, Song of the Day | Leave a comment

Today sees the release of Teenage Fanclub‘s latest, Nothing Lasts Forever, an album that deals with themes of mortality, darkness and light, and the changing of seasons.

Based on some of the album’s lyrics and subject matter (or for that matter, the title of the album itself), one might suspect that the members of Teenage Fanclub were feeling a bit down during the period when they were writing the songs for this album, and while it does have its moments of melancholy, the overall tone is generally a hopeful one, as evidenced by tunes like “Back To The Light.”

Nothing Lasts Forever is out now via Merge Records. Check out the video for “Back To The Light” below.
