their characters all over it. An ambitious record that manages to
balance both technical musicianship with creative inspiration.ö Paul
Savage
Admiral Fallow were born in 2006 out of early student days in Glasgow
and performed until recently as Brother Louis Collective. A gathering
of precocious talent fronted by the young foot-stamping, faintly
maniacal singer/song-writer Louis Abbott. The band meld clarinet,
flute, double bass and two jaw-dropping voices to the usual indie
line-up to deliver their joyous, heart-filled, orchestral and
beautifully eccentric and well crafted songs. They are fiercely proud
of their roots with AbbottÆs Scottish accent to the fore in his
singing, contrasting magically with the Northumbrian tones of Sarah
Hayes, the second vocalist.
Their sets go from simple voice and guitar compositions, through
stomping Wilco-esque tunes to riotous cacophonies of white noise; these
songs about alienation within relationships and youth itself are sung
and screamed with utter abandon while the band work themselves into a
furious frenzy. Fyfe Dangerfield of the Guillemots has supported and
lauded this exceptional band since their formation, personally asking
for them to open for the Guillemots in Glasgow and Edinburgh on their
Scottish tours.
The bandÆs reputation quickly spread amongst promoters in 2008,
culminating in their receiving the King TutÆs ôYour Soundö artist of
the month award and making their second appearance at the Connect
Festival. Headline slots at Nice and Sleazys and Oran Mor in Glasgow
and The Caves in Edinburgh followed. A 5 star gig review in The Sunday
Mail, a single on Euphonius Records and Gideon Coe airplay on BBC 6
Music were soon under their belts. You can catch the band live at The
Fence Homegames Festival, Fife on 13 March and a full UK tour in April
will be announced shortly.
2009 saw the band headline the T Break stage at T in the Park as well
as winning the Scotsman ôunder the Radarö award. A busy year was
completed when Admiral Fallow began recording Boots Met My Face at Chem
19, with Paul Savage at the controls and supported financially by the
Scottish Arts Council.
Lead singer Louis Abbott gives an idea of what fans can expect of the
album when he says, ôAll of the songs document the first chapter of my
life, be it memories from school or kicking a ball about with my
childhood chums. All of the songs are taken from real life events.
ThereÆs no fiction. IÆm not into making up stories or characters for
the sake of trying to stir emotions. They are songs about friends and
family as well as a fair bit of self-evaluation.ö
