Clutching At Straws

Marillion

Released in 1987, the record finds the band at their most cinematic. The production weaves atmospheric synthesizers around biting, semi-autobiographical lyrics concerning fame and substance abuse.

This project presents a darker view of the late eighties rock scene. It captures a pivot point for the group, emphasizing emotional honesty alongside a polished progressive sound.
