I might have discovered the new album’s name (or a song)
I have been doing some detective work about the new album, and I was rewatching the Warren Huart video, where Steven plays a bit of bass, which he says is “part of a new song”.
So, around the 1h15 mark, Steven is showing the work he does with plugins and the camera man turns to the computer screen. There you can see the Logic multitrack view and if you zoom a lot, you can see the project is called… >!“Requiem for a Village”!<. I’ll leave the link at the bottom.
Given the “village” theme everyone at the playback mentioned, this led me to two hypotesis: either it is the name of a track or the name of the album (if he worked on it as a continuum, which I think may not be the case).
Also, a nice detail is that he unpacked his turquoise baritone PRS (featured mainly in ‘The Incident’) in the video. That can be a sign that he was messing with heavier sounds at the time.
Anyway, I digress. I’m just too excited for this new record!
