En Masse, Mike Edel’s fourth full-length out now via PENNANT, saw production and mixing contributions from Marcus Paquin (The National, Arcade Fire) Andy Park (The Head and The Heart, Noah Gundersen) among others. The album features all co-written songs by Edel and includes the up-tempo singles and accompanying videos, “Hello Universe” and “Good About Everything.”
When writing “Need You,” the latest track to be featured off of En Masse, Edel recalled distinct images and specific bars he’s toured to in his imagination. We all have cabin fever presently, but there’s a homesickness to “Need You.” We always want what we don’t have.
