Like its predecessor, the album was produced by Chris Kimsey and it delivered three top forty hits (‘Incommunicado’, ‘Sugar Mice’ and ‘Warm Wet Circles’). Clutching At Straws would turn out to be Marillion’s final studio release with original singer Fish.

The title Clutching at Straws refers to the desperation of his situation, and is one of several straw-related proverbs used as double entendre for thematic continuity throughout the album (other examples include the short straw, straw men and the last straw ). Musically, Clutching at Straws is more atmospheric and gloomy than Marillion’s previous albums. Clutching at Straws Q&A.
