The Art of Falling Apart

by Soft Cell

The Art of Falling Apart cover art

Deliberately sabotaging their massive pop stardom, Soft Cell plunged into sleazy, drug-fueled urban paranoia on their masterfully bleak second album. Marc Almond's highly passionate, dramatic tales of illicit romance and anxiety are propelled by Dave Ball’s dark, heavily rhythmic synthesizer throbs, making 'The Art of Falling Apart' a profoundly nocturnal, melancholic triumph.
