I KNOW A GARDEN ALBUM OUT MARCH 20, 2026
2026 CANADIAN PERFORMANCE DATES BEGIN IN MARCH, U.K. AND EUROPEAN TOUR COMMENCES IN MAY - FULL DATES BELOW
“Mosaic In The Sun” Video Still
Recently, Montreal-based songwriter Edwin Raphael announced his new album, I Know A Garden, and shared the album’s lead single, “Then There’s You”. Today, he returns with another selection from the upcoming album, “Mosaic In The Sun”. The track is accompanied with a music video, filmed entirely in West Bengal, India, and highlights a return to Edwin's Indian roots.
“The song is about the ache of dislocation,” explains Raphael. “Growing up across countries and cultures, with your sense of home packed into shifting landscapes — you learned that no place truly held you. You brought the garden with you instead. In this track, we feel the pull between surrender and survival, between letting yourself fall apart or choosing, once again, to ‘just roll.’
“The chorus echoes that familiar voice — the one inside you that wonders if resting, loving, letting go is safe. Or if it's another risk disguised as relief: ‘If I could just fall / oh it could feel good for a while…’
“But like a mosaic scattered in sunlight, even brokenness can refract something beautiful. There's a humility here — in asking, ‘Where was I when I was all you needed?’ — that feels like looking into your younger self’s eyes, or speaking to someone you once loved, and realizing you’ve both been trying to make peace with your own disappearing acts.”

MORE ABOUT EDWIN RAPHAEL
With roots in Kerala, India, Raphael studied classical guitar before deciding on the keys. As he developed an affinity for John Mayer and Ben Howard, he felt at odds with a distinct sense of “placelessness”. It wasn’t until he moved to Montreal to pursue a business degree that he felt a sense of stability, and became deeply entangled with the city’s indie bedroom pop scene.

His debut EP Ocean’s Walk (2015) paired stirring, melancholic instrumentals with a fierce self-reckoning. It would set the stage for a string of releases that would dive deeper into the psyche; like confronting the aftershocks following a significant heartbreak, or relearning your emotional baseline as you mature. Subsequent releases, Cold Nights (2017), Will You Think of Me Later? (2019), and its follow up Staring at Ceilings (2021), reveal an artist devoted to sharpening his ability to translate his experiences into ubiquitous statements.
The 2024 re-release of Will You Think of Me Later? has amassed 115 million streams on Spotify. Edwin has performed over 70 shows across 14 countries since 2023, sharing the stage alongside Palace, Hollow Coves, Noah Kahan, and more. He heads out on tour throughout Quebec beginning March 27 and a U.K. and European tour commences May 14 All dates are below.
