Steven Wilson - The Future Bites (2021) [Hi-Res]

'The Future Bites' is an exploration of how the human brain has evolved in the Internet era. As well as being Wilson's phenomenal sixth album, it is also an online portal to a world of high concept design, custom built for the ultra-modern consumer. Where 2017's 'To the Bone' confronted the emerging global issues of post truth and fake news, 'The Future Bites' places the listener in a world of 21st century addictions. From out of control retail therapy, manipulative social media and the loss of individuality, 'The Future Bites' is less a bleak vision of an approaching dystopia, more a curious reading of the here and now.
