"There are albums of which you can immediately point to a substantial list of flaws, but which at the end of the day win your favour by being unmistakably the output of a finely attuned group of musicians. This would make for an easy, but not quite accurate, summation what's great and not-so-great about Admiral Fallow's debut record Boots Met My Face"honesty of its own".

"This is a set that mixes melancholic folk with soar-away pop melodies, heartbroken lyricism with insistent guitar motifs, elevating strings with sing-along choruses. It's simultaneously the most devastatingly downtrodden and the most wonderfully uplifting LP to have passed these ears in some time. It leaves an instant impression: the kind that stirs the listener into playing the record again, right away; and then probably once more ... on it goes, surprising and enthralling, entrancing through simplicity, through finely crafted material played superbly well. It is, probably, the best album of folk-goes-indie-with-a-Scottish-accent since [The Delgados'] The Great Eastern [from 2000]".
