Mike Edel - Our Forever

from Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada XI by Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada

/

about

Earlier this year Mike Edel released Thresholds, his third album proper and a record that had been in the works since early 2017. The record was recorded at Hive Studio’s in North Saanich, at first with Colin Stewart (Dan Mangan/Yukon Blonde/nêhiyawak) and then with Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla (Decemberists/ Gord Downie). Employing Oblique Strategies, the recording process was something that shifted and evolved: Do the least likely thing / Consistency is Boring/ Thresholds, change and a new orientation challenging the normal process and making Edel think about things differently. The result is a record of anthemic, radio friendly folk-pop, full of subtly familiar melodies, sky scraping guitar lines and sing along choruses.

“Our Forever” caries on where the album left off and finds Edel stripped right back to his voice and strummed banjo, enveloped in the refrain by echoing atmospherics, hushed horns and steel guitar, evoking a snowy drive in the dead of winter.
