Description
Stephen Cummings is an Australian folk/roots pop singer-songwriter. He has been making music for more than three decades. The quest for the perfect pop song continues with Space Travel, his new album, which comes 30 years after The Sports’ first record, and 25 years after his debut solo single, We All Make Mistakes.
Excluding a couple of compilations and a live disc, Space Travel is Stephen’s lucky 13th solo album.
“Space Travel is my 13th proper full-length album. We recorded it over a series of short sessions in Yarraville with Bill McDonald, Billy Miller, Peter and Dan Luscombe. Shane O’Mara mixed the album back in his Yikesville studio and spa. The songs were written mostly during the summer of ’06. I don’t want to go into too much detail about the songs, but I will point out that there are my usual themes of forgiveness and fucking up.”
A magical, melancholic tour, it’s an album of exclamation marks (It’s Not Me, It’s You!, Hey Kitty, Kitty!, El Duderino!) and the occasional question (Who Wants To Buy A Broken Heart?). It’s filled with small, intimate detail (She walked away, and Buck Owens was a playin’). And, in the end, it’s an album about love.
