Constant Follower is the musical project of double Scottish Album of the Year shortlisted
songwriter Stephen McAll. Their second album, The Smile You Send Out Returns To You (Feb
2025, Last Night From Glasgow), has received widespread critical acclaim and significant
chart success:
#1 Official Independent Breakers Chart
#2 Official Scottish Albums Chart
#3 Official Folk Albums Chart
#14 Official UK Album Sales Chart
With gentle melodies, layered guitars and haunting vocal harmonies, Constant Follower create
immersive, slow-building songs marked by spacious arrangements and fragile intensity –
evoking the emotional depth of Low, the intimacy of Red House Painters, the sophistication of
Talk Talk, and the stillness of Stars of the Lid. Their sound sits somewhere between folk,
slowcore, and cinematic modern composition.
