Constant Follower is the alias of songwriter Stephen McAll, whose instantly compelling and moving debut album, the Kramer co-produced, Neither is Nor Ever Was (Shimmy Disc), was shortlisted for the SAY Award (Scottish Album of the Year) in 2022. Turn Around For Me is his new single. Available from May 9, 2024, the track was co-produced and mixed in Austin, Texas by Dan Duszynski, known for his work with Loma, Cross Records and Brian Eno.
Retaining the lyrical depth and intricate melodies Constant Follower is celebrated for, Turn Around For Me also features compelling hooks and an unexpected gentle rhythmic pulse packed into its 2.30mins running time. This combination is compulsively addictive, ensuring the song will remain on repeat. With echoes of icons The Go-Betweens and The National, Constant Follower crafts a sound that’s equally suited to the bright start of morning radio or the reflective hours of late-night listening. In addition to the digital release, an exclusive 7” vinyl version is available only on Bandcamp, featuring the amazing AA-side See You Soon.
The single is accompanied by a stunning stop animation video by Japanese animator Tsumugi Yagi, whom they’ve worked with before for Space Between Stars, whose video was premiered here.
