New Album (/10 in Uncut, 4**** in Q and Sunday Times Culture.... "a band headed for the top."
Admiral Fallow are, quite probably, a new-to-you band – albeit one landing in your in-tray or inbox today with a debut album already under their collective belt, 2010’s superbly acclaimed Boots Met My Face. As such an achievement should suggest, this Glasgow-based ensemble has paid its dues several times over, sleeping on floors on tour and making the most of meagre resources to further a cause that’s earned them comparisons to the likes of The Delgados and Midlake and attracted plaudits from such high-profile individuals as Elbow’s Guy Garvey, King Creosote and Guillemots’ Fyfe Dangerfield. Now, with the release of Tree Bursts in Snow – produced and mixed at Glasgow's famous Chem 19 studios by Paul Savage (Franz Ferdinand, Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub), and mastered by Greg Calbi (Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes, The National) at Sterling Sound in NYC – the five-piece (regularly swelled to a larger collective live) is ready to take the next step: from the recommended column of several critics’ reviews catalogue and into the hearts of the wider public..
This is craft - honed, refined and ready to go. Says Louis Abbott, the group’s frontman: “I worked out recently that we’ve been playing together for six years, so we’re very glad to be in this position, to give another album to people who’ve supported us.”
But it’s not exclusively those who’ve prior experience of Admiral Fallow’s music, which veers from rambunctious acoustica to tenderly toned introspection – newcomers are sure to find hooks aplenty in Tree Bursts in Snow’s ten tracks. Indeed, it’s a collection geared for maximum first-impression impact.
