The Harmony Codex is the upcoming seventh studio album by British musician Steven Wilson, set for release on 29 September 2023 through Virgin Records.[1][2]
Background
The record was first announced on 29 August, 2023 with the release of lead single "Economies of Scale".[3] Since then, the tracks "Impossible Tightrope", "Rock Bottom", and "What Life Brings" have been released as singles.
The album is said to be “a genre-spanning collection that opens up like a musical puzzle box” and musically more complex than his previous album.[4][5]
Along with the release of the standalone record, a 3-disc limited edition featuring a collection of bonus tracks under the name Harmonic Distortion.[6]
Recording
Steven Wilson supposedly worked on the album "in a studio tucked inside a garage of a North London townhouse", piecing together the tracks with remote help from collaborators Ninet Tayeb, Craig Blundell, Adam Holzman, Jack Dangers, and Sam Fogarino.[7]
