Chemikal Underground

Chemikal Underground is a Scottish music label that was founded in 1995 by the band The Delgados. With a rich history spanning over two decades, this label has established itself as a prominent force in the music industry. Known for their innovative and diverse roster of artists, Chemikal Underground continues to push boundaries and nurture talent.
Since its inception, Chemikal Underground has been dedicated to supporting independent musicians and promoting their work. Their commitment to artistic integrity and creativity is evident in the wide range of genres represented on their roster. From indie rock to electronic music, this label offers something for every musical taste.
With an impressive catalog of releases under their belt, Chemikal Underground has garnered critical acclaim and numerous accolades throughout the years. Their influence on the Scottish music scene cannot be overstated, as they have played a pivotal role in shaping its identity and fostering local talent.

Admiral Fallow release their new album The Idea Of You, their first in six years, on Chemikal Underground.

Written and mostly recorded in 2019, The Idea Of You is a captivating collection of songs – generously melodic, confidently executed and festooned with intricacies. In true Admiral Fallow fashion, these tales of friendship and carefree adventure take the road less travelled, rarely finding their terminus where it might be most expected.

Warmth, empathy and contentment course through the nine songs, a response to its makers having navigated personal and professional challenges to emerge with their identity – both as a group and as individuals - intact. The Idea Of You traverses Philly soul, sophisticated pop and guitar-driven rock, delivering humbly anthemic choruses by the barrowload.

The recording of The Idea Of You took place in Chem19 on the outskirts of Glasgow under the aegis of producer Paul Savage, who worked on the group’s first three albums – Boots Met My Face (2010), Tree Bursts In Snow (2012) and Tiny Rewards (2015). Written and recorded pre-pandemic, the album inadvertently bears the hallmarks of a less fretful era, concerned with themes of growth and bloom in contrast to those of anxiety and fear.
