About Me

"A boy armed with a harmonica and a mandolin and some honest-to-goodness words...the greatest triumph is that "Lucky Stars" reminds me of a time, when I was sixteen, consumed by my budding love life and bottle blond (like, hydrogen peroxide bottle) hair, I’d fold up on my bed after the purchase of a new CD and spend forty-five minutes listening to each song as I meticulously read over the lyrics. Word by word I became consumed in the musician’s stories and the thread that connected theirs to mine. For the first time in a very long time I was compelled to do that with this album, to wrap myself up in someone else’s words and rest, inviting me back to a quieter time where words held and healed everything in my decade-and-a-half-old brain."

"Morgan Enos's debut album “Lucky Stars” will break your heart, put it back together, and break it again, and give you the hope that you’ll be ok again soon...I recommend downloading or picking up a hard copy of his album for anyone. Morgan will tell you who you are, and who you are becoming. It’s not often someone as promising as Morgan comes around. Pick this up and thank yourself later."
-Really Rusty Reviews
"Enter Morgan Enos: 16-year-old boy wonder from Atascadero, CA with a warble that reminds me of very early Conor Oberst, set to the tune of one guitar and the occasional awesome harmonica riff, keyboard, or echoing drums (all played by Enos himself). There's something charming about songs like, "In Which St. Wolfgang Meets The Devil"; clocking in at just under 1 1/2 wonderfully lo-fi minutes, it still has all the tape hiss intact and sounds like a secret being sung to you over the phone."

-Three Imaginary Girls

"Atascadero’s Morgan Enos sounds exactly like a boy who listens to too much Bob Dylan and Neutral Milk Hotel and it ain’t a bad thing in the slightest. Lyrically, Morgan is further ahead of the game than the rest of us. I think in high school I was writing Blink-182 style couplets...Lucky Stars is primarily an introduction record meant for everyone to get a good glimpse at what Morgan Enos is all about. Sometimes he still stays a bit too close to his influences, but if anything it’s giving him the confidence necessary to expand his horizons. He’s doing some great things and really it’s only up from here."
