"Fearless, genuine, and unapologetically original."
- Canadian Beats

"These new folk songs feel like old wisdoms brought forward to today,
when we need them again in a bad way."
- Bob Mersereau, CBC

"I Used to Know" is Carmel Mikol's fifth studio album. It's an album stripped to its essentials. The microphones are close and the room is quiet.  The lyrics cut to the bone and Mikol's voice is imperfect, wiser, more honest than ever before. Layered guitars and strings come in at the last possible moment, and only when necessary.

But for a record that's more subtle and less "produced" than any of her previous efforts, it's somehow bigger and more universal. These songs feel like late night conversations between exes or long-time friends who can't even pretend to have secrets anymore. Conversations we've all had.

A full-time recording and touring artist for almost a decade, Mikol has performed across North America and in Europe where she played hundreds of shows from intimate stages to legendary folk festivals, earning three East Coast Music award nominations and several songwriting honours.
