Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight (with Peter Smith)

Improviser, musician and beautiful British man Peter Smith leads Louie and Kyle on a deep dive into Marillion, the hugely successful British prog-rock band who over their 40 year career have gotten no respect from the radio or the press, but have legions upon legions of devoted fans that have allowed them to become their own cottage industry. In this episode we delve into their definitive 1995 release Afraid of Sunlight. This is a case where despite the fact Marillion are considered terminally uncool, their devoted fans get it completely right.

Show notes:

It was great to have Peter on the show who is a killer musician highly influenced by Marillion. Please listen to his SoundCloud which has some beautiful work on it! https://soundcloud.com/damndirtygrapes

If you liked Afraid of Sunlight, Peter recommends the Marillion album Season's End next, Kyle would love for you to get more into Peter Gabriel and Louie doesn't fuck with Prog a lot, but when he does, he's listening to Can and Babe Ruth.
