Admiral Fallow (Louis Abbott, Kevin Brolly, Phil Hague, Sarah Hayes and Joe Rattray) released their much-beloved debut album Boots Met My Face in 2011, its widely-acclaimed successor Tree Bursts In Snow the following year, an extraordinary third record, Tiny Rewards, in 2015, and their captivating fourth studio album The Idea of You in 2021. Their rich, brooding and colourful fifth LP First Of The Birds was released in October 2025, continuing the band’s partnership with legendary Glasgow label Chemikal Underground.
Approaching their twentieth year as a band, Admiral Fallow have never made a record in the way they have here, and the resulting work finds a way of both defining and redefining the scope of the group in 2026 and beyond.
“Their dizzying, eclectic brew of folk, chamber pop, hushed lullabies, and post-rock is arguably a genre all of its own: the Admiral Fallow sound. Here is a band with rare skill. Call them what you like stylistically, they’re an act to treasure, one still ahead of and apart from the pack”. (Louder Than War)
Admiral Fallow’s recent live appearances include two UK tours, numerous festival shows and four nights supporting The Proclaimers at their Back In The Big Top summer series. In winter 2023 the band performed two special anniversary gigs at Glasgow’s King Tut’s, to celebrate the vinyl re-issue of their debut album on their own label, First Name Unknown.
Over their 19years together, Admiral Fallow have taken their music around the world, touring the UK, Europe, North America and Australia. Further career highlights include a commission from Glasgow Film Festival, performing with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and creating an ambitious new chamber opera. Navigate The Blood was co-written with Gareth Williams and Sian Evans and toured eight Scottish distilleries in November 2018.
A group of versatile musicians all uniquely in demand for their skills, the individual band members also find the time to tour and record with renowned artists such as Camera Obscura, Field Music, Kris Drever, Karine Polwart and many others.
