Falling Up - Kevin Ayers - Audio CD - Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1988, 'Falling Up' finds Kevin Ayers—one of British rock’s true originals—crafting a set of songs that blend gentle wit and autumnal reflection. Known for his role in the Canterbury scene and as a founding member of Soft Machine, Ayers brings decades of experience to this understated, yet richly melodic record. The album’s arrangements are unhurried and evocative, foregrounding Ayers’ baritone and his knack for clever, bittersweet lyricism. Collaborations with stalwarts like Ollie Halsall add a supple, lived-in character to the guitar work, while Ayers’ songwriting drifts between wry nostalgia and sly observation. There’s an unmistakable warmth and humanity here—a sense of an artist surveying life’s follies with a smile and a shrug. For collectors, 'Falling Up' stands as a later-period highlight in Ayers’ discography, offering a window into a maverick voice aging gracefully, without pretense. It’s the perfect album for those who appreciate the quieter, more reflective corners of British rock, where mood and melody linger long after the last groove. A must-have for fans of literate songwriting and mellow, artful arrangements.
