Afraid of Sunlight

Marillion

Shimmering guitars and weightless synthesizers explore the isolation of fame. A lush, cinematic peak of 90s art rock that feels like a long sunset over the ocean.

June 24, 1995 · Not On Label (Marillion)

A lush, cinematic exploration of isolation and the fragile beauty of a fading sunset.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the acoustic intimacy of Afraid of Sunrise into the expansive, underwater echoes of Out of This World.
The soaring, Phil Spector-inspired wall of sound that erupts during the climax of Beyond You.
The sudden, jarring shift into the surf-rock pastiche of Cannibal Surf Babe that breaks the album's tension.
