Clutching at Straws

by Marillion

Clutching at Straws cover art

Chronicling the psychic toll of fame and severe alcoholism, 'Clutching at Straws' is a lush, highly introspective concept album and Fish's final record as Marillion's frontman. The band frames his deeply melancholic, narrative-driven lyricism with complex, atmospheric neo-progressive rock arrangements. It stands as a melodic, emotionally heavy swan song for the defining lineup of the British progressive rock revival.
