Dawn-Song: Track By Track of ‘For Morgan’ by NickPEvans
Dawn-song aka NickPEvans narrates an intimate insight into the recording of his debut LP ‘For Morgan which is out now on Ffynnone Recordings.
“This remarkable album……..a gentler mood pervades, that peculiar Englishness, if a Welshman can forgive me for that, of Syd Barrett, Robyn Hitchcock and Julian Cope.” ✭✭✭✭ Folk Radio UK “How singularly and unutterably beautiful is that?” ✭✭✭✭ Adam Walton, BBC Radio “I can’t remember the last time I listened to an album three times straight through.” ✭✭✭✭ Fatea Magazine “..and for someone singing (as in actual singing) for perhaps the first time, Evans has a very nice voice.” ✭✭✭✭ BUZZ Magazine “…gives us a composition full of beauty, heart and soul.” ✭✭✭✭ Diamond Deposits “Ought to be part of everyone’s collection. Like we all ought to own a Dylan, Miles Davis, Jacques Loussier, or certain recordings, Bright Phoebus, Wish You were Here, and Gorecki Symphony no.3. I can find nothing wrong with it. This belongs to that club of recordings that are classic”
✭✭✭✭ John Eliot, Welsh Connections “The ‘For Morgan’ album is quite a beautiful one and touches on artists like Nick Drake at times vocally all performed with a sultry and calming feel.” ✭✭✭✭ The Sounds Won’t Stop

Come with us on an epic journey from Dark to Light, an extraordinary tale of total excess to finding ones inner calm, a musical time-capsule 'For Morgan’ is an audio letter from Father to Son. Welshman Nick Evans originally from Penarth, South Wales found himself in the centre of London’s consuming Music Business in the 90’s. His Elemental Records a pioneering Label was home to Alabama 3, Rocket From The Crypt amounst others. “I made an album of my songs with some wonderful collaborators over the last couple of years. When I’m gone I wanted to continue to be able to sing for my son Morgan if he needed me. My father published a small book of poetry before he died and if I’m missing him a lot I read a bit of it and I feel reconnected. I also wanted to make something my mother could enjoy. So the record is for Morgan” - Nick Evans AKA Dawn-Song “When we were young We dreamed of creating a better future We Screamed, We Shouted We Loved, We Lost But We Lived Sometimes Together, Sometime Apart And Now I hear my friend talking from a future to his son I hear my friend imploring the world to do and to be better I hear the same song with a different sound I hear the Byrds, I hear Crass The shoutings gone, replaced with fragility and love I hear dawn Song” - Ffynnone Records Dawn-song - 'For Morgan’ Tracklisting 1.
