In “Under a Mackerel Sky”, Joe Strell presents a powerful union of melody and metaphor that explores the realms of human emotion, relationships, and existence. Composed with accoustic instruments including guitar, mandolin, and ukulele, these evocative songs combine traditional technique with alternative sensibility to deliver a poignant message with the wit of Bob Dylan and the sensitivity of Leonard Cohen. The imagery of the lyrics strikes deep, complementing the depth of the musical seascape with personal revelation that evokes the universal.
