Steven Wilson: December Skies - Gatefold Vinyl with 3 Christmas Cards

Steven Wilson breaks new ground with December Skies, an evocative, seasonal release with a twist. Embracing AI technology, Wilson has taken a bold leap into the unknown, collaborating with ChatGPT to create the lyrics for this heartfelt track, resulting in something uniquely him yet intriguingly new. The track, originally written at very short notice as an experiment after a friend challenged Wilson to create a Christmas song, captures the loneliness and reflective beauty of the winter season, partly thanks to AI-assisted lyrics crafted in Steven Wilson's style. Originally given a low-key release exclusively on Steven's Youtube channel last year, accompanied by a beautiful and appropriately AI-assisted video by Miles Skarin, December Skies quickly and quietly racked up in excess of 200,000 views over a few days during last Christmas. Now one year on, it will be given a physical release in limited edition CD and 7 inch vinyl single formats, both featuring vocal and instrumental versions of the song and 3 exclusive Steven Wilson Christmas cards illustrated by Hajo Mueller (who also created the front cover). In keeping with Steven's trailblazing commitment to immersive audio, December Skies will also be released in Dolby Atmos and spatial audio on Apple, Tidal and Amazon. Steven recently announced The Overview Tour for 2025 which will see him joined by Nick Beggs, Adam Holzman, Craig Blundell and Randy McStine for a huge run of European shows. Steven Wilson has released a string of acclaimed solo albums, the last 3 all reaching the UK top 5 album chart, with 2021's The Future Bites additionally being nominated for 2 Grammys. He has also amassed an extensive list of production and remixing credits for the likes of Tears For Fears, The Who, Van Morrison, New Order, Black Sabbath, and King Crimson among many others. This special collector's Limited Edition of December Skies is presented on 7" vinyl and includes 3 exclusive Steven Wilson Christmas cards
