About
The Art of Falling Apart is the second full-length album by the English synth-pop duo Soft Cell, released in 1983. The album reached No. 5 on the UK chart, although its two singles "Where the Heart Is" and the double A-sided single "Numbers" / "Barriers" both failed to reach the Top 20, breaking the duo's run of five consecutive Top 5 singles in the UK, reaching No. 21 and No. 25, respectively. The album opener "Forever the Same" was initially planned as the 3rd UK single release, but withdrawn, with the original extended version of the track being included on 2018's career retrospective box set Keychains and Snowstorms: The Soft Cell Story. Initial copies of the album included a bonus 12-inch EP containing the tracks "Martin" and "Hendrix Medley". The song "Martin" was inspired by the 1978 horror film Martin directed by George A. Romero. The song "Numbers" refers to the banned 1967 novel Numbers by John Rechy. .
