SEATTLE AND BRITISH COLUMBIA-BASED SINGER-SONGWRITER MIKE EDEL ANNOUNCES NEW STUDIO ALBUM, THRESHOLDS THRESHOLDS PRODUCED BY CHRIS WALLA (DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE, TEGAN & SARA) NEW SINGLE, “HOUDINI,” NOW STREAMING WITH UNDER THE RADAR AND ON ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR FOR FEBRUARY, APRIL AND MAY ANNOUNCED THRESHOLDS AVAILABLE IN STORES AND ONLINE VIA PENNANT ON FRIDAY, MARCH 1 “Big & beautiful … 'THRESHOLDS' looks to update the energy of turn of the century radio rock in uplifting fashion. No offense to Death Cab for Cutie, but it becomes pretty clear what they have been missing since Walla's departure when you hear the sunblast of ‘Houdini’.” – Under The Radar Magazine LISTEN: “HOUDINI” (VIA UNDER THE RADAR AND ALL PLATFORMS)

Seattle, 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.

Stream “Houdini” via Under The Radar Magazine HERE and on all platforms HERE

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.
