Steven Wilson has revealed the surprising involvement of former Doctor Who star David Tennant in his latest solo album, Requiem For A Village. Tennant provides narration for the folk horror-inspired concept album, which is set for release on November 6.
Wilson sought an Irish or Scottish voice with gravitas, eventually connecting with Tennant after noticing him wear a band t-shirt years prior. Tennant quickly recorded and submitted his narration within 24 hours, a feat Wilson described as exceptional.
The album's narrative, penned by Andy Partridge, delves into the mystery and eerie happenings of a secluded village. Wilson stated the concept aims to immerse listeners in a world that is both beautiful and unsettling, echoing the strange insular nature of certain places.
Requiem For A Village was significantly influenced by the '70s children's TV show 'Children Of The Stones.' Wilson cited the show's terrifying depiction of a village with a peculiar connection to the unknown as a key inspiration for the album's themes of hidden weirdness.
