MARKER STARLING
Toronto troubadour Chris A. Cummings (Marker Starling, formerly Mantler) has
been playing Melancholy Party Jams since 1999. A solo performer for many years,
his preferred weapons were a Wurltizer electric piano and an early
pre-programmed drum machine. More recently he has been supported by a
Toronto-based band consisting of Jay Anderson (drums), Matt McLaren (bass) and
Andy Scott (guitar and keyboards). In the UK and Europe he has played
extensively with Euan Rodger (drums), Joe Carvell (bass) and Andy Whitehead
(guitar).
After a long association with Germany’s Tomlab label, who released the second,
third and fourth Mantler records (SADISFACTION, LANDAU and MONODY), Cummings
began working with UK-based Tin Angel Records in 2010. With Tin Angel, Marker
Starling has released 4 albums since 2015 - the acclaimed ROSY MAZE (praised by
Matthew Horton in the NME for its “timeless quality”), solo all-covers record
I’M WILLING (2016), the self-retrospective ANCHORS AND AMPERSANDS (2017), and an
all-originals solo record TRUST AN AMATEUR (2018). Cummings’ ninth record HIGH
JANUARY, recorded in the UK and produced by Sean O’Hagan (The High Llamas,
Stereolab) was released in April 2020.
Marker Starling has opened for Stereolab, The Books, Destroyer, Yo La Tengo,
Gary Wilson and Sandro Perri, and also plays in the bands Matias, Hank and The
Canadian Romantic.

ELIZA NIEMI
Connection and collaboration lives in the intimacy of her albums, starting with
2019’s Vinegar,an understated set of songs for cello, keyboard and voice that
wander with a comforting grace.2020’s Glass furthered Eliza’s reputation for
writing songs that are boundless and experimentalwithout ever being alienating.
There’s an open, inviting quality throughout the record, apparentfrom the
close-miked instruments, to her softly sung and affable lyrics that unfold like
aconversation with a good friend.
Her latest album, Staying Mellow Blows, furthers these ideas and aesthetics to a
staggeringdegree, retaining the candor, humor and emotional humility she’s known
for, while letting thevast number of supporting musicians shape each song with
their own emotionally resonantperformances. The result feels whimsical and
inspired, and is the sound of an artist flourishing.
