Pique

Marker Starling (Chris A. Cummings, formerly Mantler) has been performing in Toronto and elsewhere since 1999. Along the way, he released nine albums on such labels as Tomlab (Germany), Blocks Recording Club (Canada), and 7e.p. (Japan), as well as having a longtime association with UK-based Tin Angel Records. A chance encounter just prior to Covid's first wave resulted in Yet You Go On, a recorded duet with singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dorothea Paas. The duet and other recordings (included on the recent album Diamond Violence) were followed by live performances in 2021-23 in which Paas became a full-time singer and guitarist in the Marker Starling band, which also includes longtime band members Jay Anderson (drums), Matt McLaren (bass) and Andrew Scott (guitar and keyboards) and brand new member Ed Squires (percussion).
