Northerner, aka Martin J Cummings, is
one of a growing band of musicians
operating in the UK's blossoming
electro-acoustic scene. "1976" closely
follows mammoth double-set "The Ridings"
(on Home Assembly Music), a special
little release that further enhances
Cummings reputation. Avoiding the
familiar, Cummings sets about
transporting the listener down new
paths, where gossamer guitar textures
mingle with shimmering, bucolic
atmospherics, forgotten voices and
deftly laced found sounds, suggesting a
kinship with the heart-warming nostalgia
of fellow countrymen Epic45. The
miniature electronic pulses and glitches
adroitly placed throughout add a
beguiling sheen, often found lacking in
the genre.
Despite its compact running time, this
release is no stop-gap, with each track
purposefully flowing into the next,
suggesting a narrative hidden just
underneath the surface. ThereÆs a rich,
emotional depth prevalent here and the
countless left turns render this record
as riveting, taking us from the
intoxicating chill of "The End of
December" through to the comforting hazy
warmth of "Red Soil". (Michael Henaghan
