Today, Mike Edel is sharing his take on Coldplay’s “Don’t Panic”, the first in a series of four covers to come from the acclaimed songwriter. An apt message for the times, Edel has created a mellow yet hooky and folk version of this early Coldplay classic.  

Parachutes was one of my formative albums, and I really like the idea of covering a song that is underrated,” says Edel. “‘Don't Panic’ feels like this kind of song, and it just kept coming back to me through this Pandemic era and has been a comfort to say the least.”

On the heels of his latest full-length album En Masse, Canadian indie singer-songwriter Mike Edel continues to embrace the positives of the era. His series of contemplative, mid-tempo covers is a nod to Edel’s singer-songwriter lean whereas En Masse embraced co-writing, collaboration, intuition and was decidedly upbeat.

En Masse, Mike Edel’s fourth full-length out 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 including the up-tempo singles and accompanying videos “Hello Universe”, and “Good About Everything”, and “Still Thinking About You”.
