A haunting, cinematic journey into a village that exists beyond
time and place, Requiem For A Village is Steven Wilsons most
intimate and imaginative work yet.
Blending dark folk, rock and electronica, the album unfolds as a
continuous 54-minute film for the ears, populated by strange
archetypes and eerie folklore.
The album is narrated by David Tennant and written with Andy
Partridge (XTC).
