Glasgow’s Constant Follower returns with ‘Whole Be‘, a track that feels less like a song and more like a whispered secret shared under starlight.
This slowcore offering, the first glimpse of their sophomore album ‘The Smile You Send Out Returns To You‘, marks a pivotal shift in the band’s trajectory. Frontman Stephen McAll, fresh from a transformative period of sobriety, has channelled his newfound clarity into a piece that grapples with the very essence of human existence.
‘Whole Be’ is a paradox wrapped in gentle guitar strums and gossamer-thin production, courtesy of Texas-based Dan Duszynski. It’s a song about completeness that revels in its own fragmentation, mirroring the beautiful contradictions of life itself. McAll’s vocals, barely rising above a murmur, carry the weight of hard-won wisdom, each word a stepping stone on a path towards self-acceptance.
This track isn’t just a return for Constant Follower; it’s a rebirth, promising an album that dares to find grace in the cracks of our imperfect lives. In a music landscape often dominated by noise, ‘Whole Be’ reminds us of the power of quiet revolution.
