Admlithi, Scotland On Sunday, 8 July 2018

Published in Scotland On Sunday, 8 July 2018 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. See Scotsman.com in association with The Academy of Music and Sound ADMLITHI Artist of the Week in Scotland On SundayWe have long been fans of Glasgow’s Armelodie Records whose unrivalled knack for discovering cutting-edge, adventurous artists is once more in evidence with their latest signing, Admlithi. According to the official backstory, he hails from Northern Scotland and planned to record a "feel good party album as a tribute to Prince" on an 80s keyboard found in a skip. However, a sudden interest in world events which bordered on the obsessive, led to the album Tyrants (released on Friday) instead. A compelling collection of songs, it evokes a cinematic sensibility on 4UYET, A Very Bad Day and Photograph, while the title track and The Wrong Chair make full use of the keyboard to conjure up a sound best described as Bronski Beat on steroids. An album for the sophisticated listener rather than those in need of a catchy chorus, the video for Bats In Your Head http://bit.ly/UTRBats is proof that this Friday the 13th is a date to look forward to.
