Wilson has been described as “the most successful British musician you’ve never heard of” by The Telegraph, and rightfully so.
Home Invasion opens with “Truth” and it segues into the melodically-stunning “Nowhere Now” and “Pariah,” where he duets with Israeli songstress Ninet Tayeb, where she displays her rich, crisp voice.
Other standout songs that are worth checking out include “The Creator Has a Mastertape,” “Arriving Somewhere But Not Here,” the lengthy but impressive “Sleep Together,” as well as the infectious “The Sound of Muzak.” It closes with the haunting “The Raven That Refused to Sing,” which features his rumbling vocals.
