What has been said:
"Quivery, electro scratchy and darn-right funky Marcus Hessenberg throws some mean shapes. Prone to swinging flowers whilst hopping on one leg this man caused the strangest dance craze last year. Residents of the Holmbush were seen rolly-pollying in front of the stage whilst Marcus wove his magic melodies.!"
Holbush Festival
"An old keyboard demo of bananarama's 'Venus' is an appropriate soundcheck for Marcus Hessenberg and the Tulips: cheesy; tacky; utterly catchy. Sure enough the flowery three deliver a quality batch of quirky, synth-banjo driven electro pop with a dollop of Talking Heads/Animal Collective art-funk. Triumphantly silly... great new band set for big things this year.*****"
Nick Aldwinkckle, Latest 7 in reference to a gig supporting Sweet Sweet Lies.
"Marcus Hessenberg and the Tulips' Over the Hill EP is as eclectic as the trio's live precense. The stinking title track, and hypnotic electric-pop jaunt, is akinto some odd jam session with Talking Heads providing the music and Damon Albarn the vocals. The pace is kept with overblown Animal Collective oohs and aahs and the result is a very polished, yet gloriously messy, funked-up pop." Jeff Hemmings, Latest 7
"Well, what a joy it is to hear brand new music, particularly of that kind of ilk, DIY stuff made in peoples' homes and youre listening to it and you're envisaging exactly how he created it, he obviously is hitting a radiotor I reckon that bit on the end... It sounds JUST like a radiator..."

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
