   About Frankel

"Gently orchestrated pop that will recall a Randy Newman or Harry Nilsson (a contemporary kindred spirit might be Richard Swift) yet harbors the subtle textures and atmospherics you might hear on a Grandaddy record. " - LOS ANGELES TIMES

"L.A. based singer/songwriter Frankel (Michael Orendy) released what has become one of our very favorite albums of 2007 - Lullaby For The Passerby. An absolute must for fans of Nilsson, Lennon/McCartney, et al." - AQUARIUM DRUNKARD.

Never fails that you point out the obvious mistakes..You totally missed it when I played a D-minor Diminished 9th instead of a D-minor Diminished 7th...Whatever. Kudos to you. You're great. Your songs are great. What else do you want?
