Anchors & Ampersands is the seventh album by Canadian music artist Marker Starling (Chris A. Cummings), released in 2017. It is a collection of original material, with two cover versions – "I'll Be Around", & "Double Suicide" by Sandro Perri.
With songs written that span more than half his life, Cummings' seventh album has been called a "reflection on mortality", & a "mellow & tender" record with elements of soul, Brazilian & classic 70's soft-rock genres, as well as influence by Robert Wyatt.
