Anil Prasad interviewed Steven Wilson about his new album Requiem for a Village for his Innerviews website. They also talk about his work with No-Man, Porcupine Tree and Storm Corrosion, and his work as a sought-after ATMOS mixer. His love for folk horror, under the influence of British TV shows he watched as a kid, is all over his new album:
This idea is very relevant in the age of social media because this community is relatively cut off. It’s not part of the digital highway. These people are very insular. That’s the great thing about folk horror—the idea of going into a community that’s idyllic on the surface, but there’s something very perverse, peculiar, and eccentric underneath. Some might say pagan. The idea of having your own religious beliefs, which have no bearing on the rest of the world, is at the heart of a lot of folk horror.
