Our Take

Kevin Ayers' "Falling Up (Remastered)" is like taking a joyride in a vintage convertible on a sunny day - carefree, smooth, and filled with unexpected twists and turns. This remastered version of the 1988 album brings new life to Ayers' timeless blend of folk, rock, and jazz, making it a must-listen for both die-hard fans and newcomers alike.

The album kicks off with the dreamy and enchanting "You're Not Crazy," setting the tone for the rest of the journey. Ayers' laid-back vocals effortlessly glide over intricate guitar melodies, creating a sense of nostalgia and warmth that is hard to resist. Tracks like "Feeling This Way" and "Glad to Be Sad" showcase Ayers' songwriting prowess, with poignant lyrics and infectious hooks that will have you singing along in no time.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Falling Up." Ayers delves into darker territory with tracks like "Caught in the Blue," exploring themes of love, loss, and longing with raw honesty and vulnerability. The stripped-down production allows Ayers' emotive vocals to take center stage, drawing the listener in with every heartfelt word.

Overall, "Falling Up (Remastered)" is a masterclass in songwriting and storytelling, proving once again why Kevin Ayers is a true musical genius. So sit back, relax, and let yourself fall into the beautiful world of Kevin Ayers. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Kevin Ayers

Kevin Ayers, the maverick musician who effortlessly blended elements of psychedelia, folk, and jazz into his unique sound, is a true icon of the British music scene. With a career spanning over five decades, Ayers has left an indelible mark on the industry with his quirky lyrics, laid-back vocals, and unmatched ability to push the boundaries of genre. Born in Kent in 1944, Ayers first rose to prominence as a founding member of the legendary band Soft Machine. Known for their experimental sound and avant-garde approach to music, Soft Machine quickly became one of the most influential bands of the Canterbury scene. After departing from Soft Machine, Ayers embarked on a successful solo career, releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums including "Joy of a Toy" and "Bananamour". His eclectic musical style and offbeat charm quickly won him a dedicated fanbase, with his music cited as a major influence by artists such as John Cale and Syd Barrett. Despite his immense talent, Ayers remained a somewhat enigmatic figure in the music world, often shunning the spotlight in favour of a more reclusive lifestyle. Nevertheless, his impact on the industry cannot be understated, with his music continuing to inspire generations of musicians to this day. In a sea of cookie-cutter artists, Kevin Ayers stands out as a true original, a musical maverick whose influence will be felt for years to come. With his laid-back charm and genre-defying sound, Ayers remains a beloved figure in the world of music, a true icon of British counterculture.
