UK import, an album of intense, orchestral, heart-felt Wilco-esque tunes. "5 of of 5. One of the best album to come from Scotland this year" - The Daily Record. "An astounding first album."- Music News. "(their) brooding, heartfelt folk leanings are bolstered by a soundtrack of colourful orchestration, including flute, strings and double bass - a rich concoction that has caught the attention of more than a few unsuspecting ears." - The List. Comparisons to fellow Scotsmen The Proclaimers and Mike Scott of The Waterboys are accurate but not in a shallow manner. "A gentle disc of melodic indie rock, but the woodwind section and double bass distinguish Admiral Fallow from their peers, creating an atmospheric lush sound. The lyrics are also above average-- the temptation to attempt grandiose themes has been avoided, and the content focuses on simpler things like childhood games and rivalries. This sense of nostalgia also comes across in the singing; the poetic lines are neither thrown out carelessly not sung with too much affectation. There is a charming simplicity to the delivery, though this album was surely harder to write and record than it sounds. At times, the sound is sometimes reminiscent of Snow Patrol, but the material here is stronger and more original, and even when it is at its simplest it has more punch." - Shout4Music. Very Highly Recommended!
