Didn't listen to much but saw some posts where the latest album by Constant Follower was getting a lot of praise so had a listen - think it will be one of those that needs repeat plays the whole way through

Gaga Is Begone (to #5)! But we didn’t take the top:
#2 Scottish Albums Chart
#14 UK Albums Sales Chart
#1 Independent Album Breakers Chart
We're down to a tiny number of LPs with which to compete, so we exit here. But, wow, never thought we'd get this high in the Album charts. Thank you all ❤️

You can't sing,
You can't play,
You look awful...
You'll go a long way.
