Constant Follower aka Stephen McAll : Open Fund for Music Creators
The recording and mastering of Constant Follower’s sophomore album
Constant Follower is the moniker of Scottish songwriter Stephen McAll. His debut album for legendary New York indie label Shimmy Disc found its way onto the top of multiple ‘Best Albums of 2021’ lists, was SAY Award shortlisted, and led to a string of notable performances including the world-famous Usher Hall of Edinburgh, Austin’s SXSW 2022 and the first performance by a band at the top of Scotland’s National Wallace Monument. A triumph after tragedy, the album was McAll’s first work many years after an unprovoked attack in his late teens left him with catastrophic head injuries, partially paralysed and unable to write or play guitar. The following decade was spent recovering on the West Coast of Scotland, learning to live with the disability that resulted, and eventually picking up the guitar to allow the songs that form his acclaimed debut ‘Neither Is, Nor Ever Was’ to emerge. With the support of PRS Foundation, McAll is travelling to Austin, Texas in early 2023 to produce the follow-up to his debut with renowned US producer Dan Duszynski (Loma, Cross Record, Sub Pop).
