Mike Edel Announces New Studio Album 'Threshholds'

eattle, WA and British Columbia-based musician Mike Edel has recently announced his brand new studio album titled THRESHOLDS. Recorded with Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie, Tegan & Sara) and being released on Friday, March 1 via PENNANT, THRESHOLDS (pre-order), presents itself as a compelling departure for Edel who after adopting a consistency-is-boring mantra and spending a tireless year in the studio has evolved his sound into his most intriguing set of music yet. From the radio rocker "Houdini" to the indie-pop chiller "Go With You," and with the CBC Music Top 10, thirties-are-the-new-twenties anthem "31," Edel reveals stand-alone singles that illustrate a uniform theme throughout the 10-song effort.

After 2 million cumulative streams across major platforms, being in rotation on CBC Music, AAA Radio across the United States, and on Sirius XM's The Loft; after playing hundreds of shows including Rifflandia Festival, Vancouver Folk Festival, Regina Folk Festival, Victoria International Jazz Festival, and Upstream Music Festival; after sharing the stage with Serena Ryder, Foy Vance, Said The Whale and Josh Garrels; and after splitting his time between Seattle, WA and the mountains of British Columbia and getting married, Edel is taking his music in particular and his life in general across a threshold, through an open door, and into the unknown.
