Marconi Union, one of the most influential names in contemporary ambient and electronic music, announces their twelfth studio album, The Fear of Never Landing, set for release on 6th June via Just Music. The news is paired with the release of the first single, "Eight Miles High Alone," out on 20th March on all major streaming platforms.

Known for their ability to craft cinematic, immersive soundscapes that blur the lines between ambient, electronic, and experimental music, the Manchester-based duo once again pushes the boundaries of sonic exploration.

The Fear of Never Landing takes listeners on a dynamic journey that is atmospheric, diaphanous, and never short of mesmerizing. While the new record is certainly infused with a sense of hope, there's more than a soupçon of anxiety too, as the title suggests.

Formed in Manchester in 2003, Marconi Union's debut album, Under Wires and Searchlights (2003), introduced their signature sound. However, it was their 2011 release Weightless that brought them international acclaim. Developed in collaboration with a sound therapist, Weightless was scientifically recognized as "the world's most relaxing song," praised for its ability to reduce anxiety and heart rates. With over 900 million streams and widespread media coverage, the track remains a cultural phenomenon.

Over the years, Marconi Union has continued to evolve, producing critically acclaimed albums such as Signals (2021), Ghost Stations (2016), and Tokyo+ (2017). Their work has been hailed for its emotional resonance and sonic depth, with The Quietus noting their ability to "find beauty in the bleakest places," and The Sunday Times describing them as "amongst today's most talented musicians."

With The Fear of Never Landing, Marconi Union once again showcases their unmatched ability to create immersive soundscapes that resonate deeply. The album reaffirms their position as masters of atmosphere and emotional storytelling, making it an essential addition to their storied catalog.

A 55-minute odyssey presented as one seamless piece divided into nine movements, the album encapsulates Marconi Union's ability to translate the complexities of the human experience into sound, all while maintaining a stunning sense of cohesion.

Beyond their studio albums, Marconi Union has collaborated with visual artists, provided soundtracks for installations, and remixed notable acts like Max Richter and Vök. Their invitation by Brian Eno to perform at Norway's Punkt Festival further cemented their reputation as innovators in the ambient music sphere.
