Thrice SAY-nominated, his work is acclaimed for its tenderness, craft, and space. The Smile You Send Out Returns To You reached No.14 in the UK Albums Chart, No.2 in Scotland, and No.1 on the Independent Breakers Chart. Think Low, Red House Painters, Smog - music of depth that holds gently.

The Smile You Send Out Returns To You

The Smile You Send Out Returns To You is Constant Follower’s most intimate work yet. Recorded at Hum of Gold in Stirling and mixed with Dan Duszynski at Dandy Sounds in Texas, it carries songs of tenderness, resilience and connection. Acclaimed for its emotional depth, the album entered the UK Top 20 for two consecutive weeks. Slow, immersive and deeply human, it is McAll's invitation to kindness, community and hope.
