Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase (CD)
Hand. Cannot. Erase. (2015) was recorded at London’s AIR Studios and saw Steven Wilson reuniting with Guthrie Govan (guitar), Adam Holzman (keyboards), Theo Travis (flute/sax), Nick Beggs (bass/stick), and Marco Minnemann (drums).
"Hand. Cannot. Erase. is an album rooted in sonic and spiritual modernity… an inventive blend of bleak and brooding industrial soundscapes." — The Guardian
Hand. Cannot. Erase. is written from a female perspective; the concept and story were inspired by the case of Joyce Carol Vincent, a woman living in a large city who died in her apartment and went unnoticed for over two years, despite having family and friends.
"The basic story, or concept of the record, is about a woman growing up who goes to live in the city, becomes very isolated, and disappears one day without anyone noticing. There's more to it than that. Now, what's really interesting about this story is that your initial reaction is, 'Ah, a little old bag lady that no one notices.' But she was young, she was popular, she was attractive, she had many friends and family; yet, for whatever reason, nobody missed her for three years." — Steven Wilson
