Admiral Fallow<\/a>, a Scottish band, sees the release of their second album, Tree Bursts in Snow<\/i>, next week.<\/p>\n

I’ve been a Fallow fan since they called themselves “The Brother Louis Collective,” and I love their first album, Boots Met My Face<\/i>. (The side-project album by The Moth & The Mirror<\/a>, Honestly, This World<\/i>, is excellent, too.)<\/p>\n

The BBC’s review of Tree Bursts in Snow<\/i><\/a> makes a favorable comparison to Elbow: “the Glaswegian quintet are the scene\u0092s most thoughtful brand of emo-scaping, more concerned with simmering space and dynamics than outright brow-beating. The opening title(ish)-track surges and slow-burns like prime Elbow; Guy Garvey is a Fallow fan, and there\u0092s indeed something Garvey-like about singer-guitarist Louis Abbott. But it\u0092s still smaller-scale, tense, and all the better for its restraint.” Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about Elbow. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The whole of the new album can be heard here<\/a>. And this is the video of “The Paper Trench”:<\/p>\n
