Marillion announce new album ‘With Friends From The Orchestra’

MARILLION have announced a new album!

Titled With Friends From The Orchestra, the upcoming album from the British progressive rock titans features nine classic tracks re-imagined and accompanied by the In Praise Of Folly String Quartet with Sam Morris (French Horn) and Emma Halnan (Flute). The upcoming album will be released in November this year.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “so our brilliant producer and collaborator Michael Hunter wrote some new string arrangements and we took a week out to go to Real World Studios and record with our friends. The result has exceeded our expectations, is indeed a thing of beauty. We hope you enjoy the songs and agree with us that some of them are actually better than the originals(!). Whether or not you agree with that bold statement we’re sure this work will move you.”
