Having already shared singles “Then There’s You” and “Mosaic In The Sun”, Montreal-based songwriter Edwin Raphael returns with another new track from his upcoming album, I Know A Garden. Featuring UK based artist Jordan Mackampa, "A Sunbeam Lent To Us Briefly” finds “me and Jordan standing on the cliffs of the island where time drifts like mist over the waves, reflecting on how every moment, every love, every passing joy, is lent to us, not kept,” says Raphael. “The song hums with a quiet helplessness, the kind that comes from realizing that beauty and loss are intertwined."

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.
