First of the Birds - Admiral Fallow [CD]

The early sketches of First Of The Birds - their fifth full-length record, a rich and brooding affair - appeared in quiet mornings and spaces, before the songs burst into life with long-time collaborator and producer Paul Savage in Chem19 Studios. Approaching their twentieth year as a band, and having recently celebrated the 15th anniversary of their much-loved debut album, 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 2025 and beyond. Led by collective spirit and understanding, framing a time of significant change and upheaval, of the myriad ways those things shift the world around us, 'First of the Birds' feels something like a revelation. Admiral Fallow continue to evolve and transform, and in embracing such things, of folding their experiences into the fabric of the band, they've produced a record that is at once entirely personal while also feeling reassuringly universal. It thrives within those parameters; a burst of warm light on a new morning.
