The idea of you

"If Glasgow's Admiral Fallow aren't the most prolific, it's understandable. The kind of intricate mosaic that takes time to map and mix, 'The Idea Of You' sounds labour intensive in the best sense, its evolving, detailed arrangements taking in Sufjan Stevens-like woodwind, elements of Philly soul, angular '80s pop and more ... Make no mistake: 'The Idea Of You' is a stealthy landmark; a Chemikal Underground record up there with the Delgados' 'The Great Eastern' or Arab Strap's 'Elephant Shoe'".

"Previously known for a modern Celtic indie-folk which earned them a place alongside latterday Idlewild, Glasgow's Admiral Fallow haven't broken the mould on this fourth album ... Louis Abbott's sensitive songwriting and the band's compositional depth creates something gently sublime, though ... Alongside Abbott's bittersweet, yearning lyricism, his hormonies with Sarah Hayes are a highlight of a rich and expansive record".
