Performing as Mantler or his current nom de plume Marker Starling, Chris A. Cummings has cemented his status as a treasure of Toronto music. This month sees the release of his latest album, High January, another gorgeous collection of understated pop songs featuring contributions from Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier and production by The High Llamas' Sean O. Hagan. While the world remains locked down in self-isolation, Chris joins us for a remote discussion of his creative history, international connections, and one of the sweetest lists of local shout outs yet.
