Afraid of Sunlight is Marillion's eighth studio album, released in 1995. It was their last for EMI (who would, however, continue to release back-catalogue material on compilations and re-issues, as well as distribute some later recordings). It was the first Marillion studio album to fail to reach the Top 10 in the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 16 and falling out of the Top 40 after two weeks. Nonetheless, Afraid of Sunlight was included in Q magazine's "Recordings of The Year" for 1995, and retrospectively described by Jeri Montesano of Allmusic as "the peak of Marillion's growing, impressive body of work."
