Admiral Fallow, oh my!

So, one of my favorite Scottish bands are back with their sophomore album titled Tree Bursts in Snow. My oh my, is it amazing! It compliments their previous album Boots Met My Face oh so well, but not TOO well, meaning it is not that similar per se, but beautiful nonetheless. You can stream the entire album here:

Please take a listen, it is well worth your while I promise! Their album will be out next week on the 21st of May, for the UK at least. I imagine it will be out in America quite soon as well! Recommended tracks: The Paper Trench, Isn't This World Enough, Brothers, and The Way You Were Raised. The lyrics and melodies are equally gorgeous, and are sure to bring a smile to your face :). Enjoy!
