The Ridings by Northerner

"The Ridings draws together strands of guitar and delicate electronics....embedding lightly sculpted six-string textures in a tapestry of field recordings and plugin tweaks. Many of the album's best moments come from Northerner finding new ways of presenting solo guitar passages, and the likes of 'Lost Logic', 'Caroline' and 'Titus' all bring a dreamlike haziness to the instrument. Elsewhere, you may detect a more extreme 12k-type feel, with the folded, heavily compressed instrumentation of 'Cull' having a particularly close encounter with all things glitch....Lovely." (Boomkat - Manchester, UK)

"The fact that Cummings operates alone is perhaps the biggest surprise given the sheer number of influences and sounds his debut album demonstrates. Very few groups, let alone solo acts, show this much adventure and promise on their first recordings....likely to be one of the most significant releases of the year." (Leonard's Lair, UK).
