UK-based project The Creaking Floorboards return with Falling Out Of Your World, a blues-rock album. Built from decades of observation, frustration, and reflection, the record carries the weight of long-held stories finally allowed to breathe. For Jeff, the lyricist at the heart of the project, this album brings a moment where memory, loss, social critique, and personal reckoning converge into something raw and unfiltered. Drawing on influences from Rush to Govโt Mule and Soundgarden, the album speaks directly to outsiders and truth-seekers whoโve always felt slightly out of sync with the world around them.
The journey kicks off with โBlank,โ where grinding guitars and rustling, heavy beats settle into a steady pulse, softened by restrained cymbals. Jeffโs deep, thick voice cuts through with conviction, singing, โYouโre tryna drive me crazy, telling me nothing but lies,โ as the song slowly burns with frustration and emotional fallout. It comes off honest, tense, and unwilling to sugarcoat. Later on, โClueless (Brittany Murphy)โ shifts gears into a more reflective groove, pairing shimmering, churning guitars with steady drums. Jeff sings with a knowing smugness here, warning listeners to tread carefully when it comes to trust, fame, and the illusions people sell when the lights are on.
By the time โKeen Eyeโ rolls around, the album leans fully into mood and observation. Sharp, slithering guitar lines appear in short bursts, circling a revving bass that hums beneath the surface. Jeff builds the narrative slowly, his voice carrying a subtle edge of cynicism. Elsewhere across the album, themes of digital decay, identity, grief, and resilience weave together naturally.
Falling Out Of Your World stands firm as a blues-rock record rooted in lived experience, embracing imperfections and hard truths. Itโs music for those whoโve been paying attention all along โ and finally found a voice that sounds like their own.
