about

During the 20/21 lockdowns AMCA’s Sally Rodgers and Steve Jones battened down in their studio-base on the wild, industrial North East coast where Sally grew up. The resulting recordings, released as an album later this year, draw influence from the raw nature and raging seas of the ancient Jurassic coastline, the working men’s clubs, Chemical Cities and seaside towns that fall into the mouth the river Tees. The tracks – from Kate Bush-like wonky pop to arthouse bangers and ambient electronica explore themes of memory, solitude and resilience while immersed in the detail and deep time of the North East coast.

Here on Starlings, the second single release from the forthcoming A Man Called Adam album, AMCA enchant with a slice of uplifting, neo-folk dance. Weaving an infectious Northern Soul stomp with modulating rhythmic synths, flutes, pianos and emotive vocals to invoke the starling murmurations, light play, the ‘over-ground laboratories’ and ‘acronyms of industry’, of the epic coastal landscapes that inspired the track.

The sleeves in this series of releases feature iconic photographs taken in the 70s of people and places around Teesside by local photographer, Robin Dale.
