Daniel Markham

A recent Lubbock transplant, Daniel Markham brings the desert to North Texas with a set so emotionally charged it makes you want to call your dad. Markham is currently working on his first full-length record as a solo artist, with hopes for a March 2013 release, and Denton's Grady Sandlin, of RTB2 fame, is lending him a hand in the recording. After listening to a couple of unmixed tracks from the record, it's clear "New Blood" could be the jam you skip to. Markham's vocals sound like they're being pumped through a blown speaker, overlain by muted electric guitars, though the strings of an acoustic are faintly plucked and picked in the background. - Dallas Observer

Last summer, Daniel Markham put his Lubbock-based fuzz-pop outfit One Wolf on hold as he relocated to Denton and began playing bass in Charlie Shafter's backing band.

But the former frontman hasn't fully relegated himself to the dim shadows just beyond the spotlights of the singers he now backs. Nor has he given up writing his unique, darkly-tinged pop tunes.

Last month, Markham put out his Hexagons EP for free download on BandCamp. Even for a musician with his toes in so many waters, Hexagons is a bit of a departure, incorporating eight-bit elements and his gloomiest material to date.

Per Markham, the material was largely inspired by the late Lubbock performer Marcus Chapa, who would perform under the name Kitten Glitter and often appear onstage with nothing but a modified Gameboy. - Central Track

New elements on this record compared to the last are the introduction of keyboard and the use of heavy fuzz guitar. On paper, I would be a bit skeptical of each of those things, but on the album they work brilliantly. One Wolf has moved flawlessly from some heavily alt country beginnings into a rock sound that gives them a great deal more freedom to explore new sounds. - Windfarm

One Wolf provide a landscape of music for the ears to feast on, and it all mixes fittingly. A banjo alongside a distorted electric guitar captures the band’s willingness to try out new things, as long as it delivers. And it does. - Culture Greyhound
