Created alongside an accompanying documentary film, Edel and collaborators Cumulus and The Carlines have assembled a soulful and touching album that explores the themes of near-death experiences, enduring love, and acceptance of things as they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Edel\u2019s production debut shines as an example of soulful, folky pop-rock. Driven, reverbed lead guitar tones pair beautifully with spacious piano rhythms, subtle synths, punchy drums, and Edel\u2019s restrained, gorgeous vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>casseroles &amp; flowers<\/em> features several sombre numbers that often break into moments of joyful, musical catharsis. A great example of this is on \u2018domino\u2019, a song about Edel\u2019s survival and recovery from a stroke. Despite the subject matter, Edel\u2019s positivity shines through. Bright, open chords overtake the initially sad melody, giving the song a resounding optimism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;love me the same&#8221; is more upbeat (and an album highlight), blending influences such as Harry Styles, The 1975, and Dan Mangan. It\u2019s simple, but not lacking in depth. And like most of the album, this track\u2019s refined sound gives it forward momentum and a certain irresistibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A soulful, solo aesthetic works for Edel\u2019s sonic brand, but his voice shines brightest amongst harmonies, such as on &#8220;casseroles &amp; flowers&#8221; and &#8220;on to something.&#8221; Some parts could have been taken a step further, in terms of complexity. This is often true for Edel\u2019s vocals, which can lack variation, becoming predictable towards the end. More vocal crescendos near the top of his range could have gone a long way in emotionally propelling songs through to their ends.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, Edel\u2019s latest work is some of his finest \u2013 reflective, sentimental, and sometimes downright dramatic, it\u2019s a beautiful arrangement of songs that clearly come straight from the heart \u2013 and it shouldn\u2019t be missed by lovers of the genre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hailing from Victoria, BC, singer-songwriter Mike Edel returns with his fourth LP, casseroles &amp; flowers (2022, PENNANT).
