WWW.THEMORNINGBIRDS.COM



"Samuel Markus's debut New Dawn is a woodsy, honey-dripped stroll through folk country with excursions into rock and indie. Markus has a shadowy whisper and distant acoustic guitar that sound familiar and old like he is playing some song found written on tattered bark from a tree somewhere in the dark woods between Tom Petty and Neil Halstead's houses."
-Tracer

"This is a no-fuss singer songwriter; superbly crafted songs are embellished with sympathetic reason and empathetic deftness as The Only Ones create accompanying backdrops that are as haunting as they are up-lifting."
-Toxic Pete UK

"Make way for the fabulous, dark and mystical title-track ‘New Dawn’. Aided by hooky female harmony vocals, exquisite lead guitar and stuttering melody his music is lifted to a level difficult match."
-American UK

"One of Markus' strengths is his voice because it speaks in sun tones, and with each song I find myself imagining a different time of the day, or a different temperature of the light outside my window. Marry that voice with a great set of poison pen lyrics, and you have a first rate album."
-Encore

"New Dawn is fully evolved. These tunes remain in the heads of their listeners, but their intelligent and narrative content makes them welcome additions to cerebral playlists."
- PlugInMusic

"A real smorgasbord of rich musical tastes. A writer that can turn his hand to many styles, almost effortlessly."
- Leicester Bangs UK Album Review

"Samuel Markus is an insightful songwriter, skilled musician and distinctive vocalist. In 'New Dawn' the songs range from tender ballads like Suzanne to more upbeat numbers such as Rosa and Jitterbug in which the band really comes to life with groovy beats, horn section and boogie piano to drive home Samuel’s well-written lyrics"
