About the Event
Constant Follower

Constant Follower's music speaks to the heart of shared human experience, blending moving melodies with a sense of connection, resilience, and healing. Critically acclaimed and twice nominated for the Scottish Album of the Year Award, (including for their collaboration with Scott William Urquhart on 'Even Days Dissolve') their sound is rich with emotional depth, reminiscent of the stark beauty of Low and the sonic curiosity of Mark Hollis and Talk Talk.

Their forthcoming album for Last Night From Glasgow, The Smile You Send Out Returns To You, delves into themes of recovery, family, and the quiet power of kindness. Each song emerges from a deeply solitary process, but is ultimately a collaboration – a reflection of their belief that music connects us all, even in our most vulnerable moments.

At its core, Constant Follower’s music is a quiet reminder that, even in solitude, we are bound by the invisible threads of shared experience – we are never truly alone, and the love we send out returns to us.
