“Schirmacher’s ability to create moods with seeming ease is something that really stands out on Bird in Your Tree.” Divide and Conquer album review – Published March 30, 2018
“There is a lot to like here. Mark Schirmacher may be working with age old musical materials, there is after all little new under the sun, but he still manages to put his songs together in a way that offers new and interesting prospects and potential. We have all heard music like this before, yet you have never heard music quite like this before. Now that’s clever.” The Swindonian – Published June 14, 2018
“I could imagine Mark getting comments on his music remind people of everyone from The Righteous Brothers to Elvis Presley, Neil Young or Roy Orbison, all the way to more modern-day acts like Spiritualized or Ben Gibbard.” Sleeping Bag Studios
