About

No-Man are an English art pop duo, formed in 1987 as No Man Is an Island (Except the Isle of Man) by singer Tim Bowness and multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson. The band has so far produced seven studio albums and a number of singles/outtakes collections (including 2006's career retrospective All the Blue Changes). The band was once lauded as "conceivably the most important English group since The Smiths" by Melody Maker music newspaper, and a 2017 article of Drowned in Sound described them as "probably the most underrated band of the last 25 years".

Originally creating a sample-based proto-trip hop/ambient/electropop-styled music, No-Man has pursued a more organic, diverse and band-oriented sound in subsequent years. Drawing from a diverse mix of singer-songwriter, post rock, minimalist, progressive rock, jazz and contemporary ambient sources for inspiration, No-Man's musical style is distinctive yet difficult to categorise.

No-Man est un groupe de rock britannique, originaire d'Angleterre. Il a été formé en 1987 par le chanteur Tim Bowness et le chanteur et multi-instrumentiste Steven Wilson, leader du groupe Porcupine Tree. No-Man est à la fois un groupe proche du trip hop, de l'ambient et de la musique électronique. Together We're Stranger et Schoolyard Ghosts sont leurs deux albums les plus marquants ; aussi sombre qu'harmonieux, il en émane un climat éthéré et onirique très singulier.
