Jacob Cummings is an LA-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter raised in the small surf town of New Smyrna Beach in Florida. Though largely known as a photographer and visual artist, Cummings is a classically-trained saxophonist and “total band kid” with a natural aptitude for arrangement and a boardwalk-gothic sensibility inspired by his formative memories of the Florida coast. Cummings debuted as an artist with the instrumental “COVID project” <a href="spotify:album:7fHpyXGiqX6APKeUAGuFC9" data-name="Slow Paradise">Slow Paradise</a> in 2020 and subsequently released <a href="spotify:album:5uRUXukLC7I3dEiOgifCYS" data-name="Fishing From Heaven">Fishing From Heaven</a> with his partner <a href="spotify:artist:2oHONIRqxXSaM6rAtMNps8" data-name="Laney Tripp">Laney Tripp</a> in 2021. Southern & Enlightened marks the first time Cummings has featured his vocals on record, and he considers it to be his solo debut proper.
Cummings recorded Southern & Enlightened in a home once owned by his grandmother, who passed away shortly before recording. The artist stayed for a month before the house was due to be torn down, going through his grandmother’s affairs and watching Ken Burns’ Baseball. One imagines the memories of the old house and the sadness of its impending destruction seeped into the music—and perhaps some of Burns’ old, weird Americana as well. This is tactile music, alive with the feeling of sea spray, sand against skin, winds blowing through open cabin windows, the textures of old wood and burnished brass.
