“Love Is Gonna Find You” Single Art Work
With only a few short weeks remaining until the release of Micah Erenberg’s new LP, Love Is Gonna Find You, the Manitoba based songwriter is sharing the video for the title track. Shot during one of the coldest weeks in the middle of the winter on Lake Winnipeg, two things were needed for the video: a new parka for director Colin Medley and an old piano. The piano in the middle of the lake caused a bit of a stir among the local ice fishing Facebook groups
"Micah and I shot this video twice, once at sunset, and the following day at sunrise,” says Medley. “It was blisteringly cold. In between the two shoots, some ice fishers found the piano and it caused quite the buzz on some local Facebook groups, with a lot of speculation as to how it ended up in the middle of a frozen lake. Hopefully now that the video is out, the unsolved mystery of the piano on the lake will finally be put to rest.”
“It was really funny to witness the absolute mayhem of the Manitoba Ice Fishers Facebook group,” says Erenberg. “As the rumours of the mysterious piano began to circulate… ‘I heard they were making a movie’... ‘I heard they’re planning on blowing it up on Wednesday’... etc, etc. It was amazing how many people were concerned about the waste from the piano, despite the lack of concern for so many people leaving trash behind at their fishing sites, or even dumping trash right into their fishing holes. Of course, we cleaned up the piano completely. It is now slowly being disassembled for its new life as garden ornamentation. Let this be a reminder to all: Our lakes are a valuable and fragile resource. Please don’t litter our waterways.”

Due out October 4 via Sleepless Records, Love Is Gonna Find You is the songwriter’s highly anticipated second album. The LP finds Erenberg lifting his listeners into a sphere of delicate fulfillment, painting loneliness as a universal craving for human connection over his narratives of getting sober, rain soaked mornings and searching for something bigger than ourselves.
Growing up in the very rural Manitoba, Erenberg gravitated towards music as a curious endeavour around the age of 9 when he first picked up a guitar. That soon turned into writing and recording and inevitably, tours followed and numerous band projects continued until, at the age of 20, he set out to do his own thing. Going it alone has allowed him to express an overlying message of love and positivity through his work and it’s on Love Is Gonna Find You that Erenberg has truly found his groove.

Lyrically, the album paints a scrambling collage of navigating the loss of love while also providing a rolling, self-effacing pep talk. With love, comes pain and Erenberg’s commentary on both simultaneously elevates the textures throughout. It’s a kaleidoscope of memories, merged together to push Erenberg out of the funk he’s found himself in to produce something ultimately positive and downright life-affirming. As he points out on opener, “Do It For Love”, live for the minute you came to this Earth and the minute you’ll leave, no matter how long those nights can feel.

Produced and recorded with Alexandre Bonenfant, the album was crafted in several studios between Toronto, Winnipeg, and Micah’s home town. Switching up the environments has manifested itself as a mirage of characters, ones that teeter on the soft focus of an acoustic guitar while others erupt into strange electronic soundscapes. There’s woozy harmonies, low croons and fervent choruses. Erenberg may revel in the gloom for a moment but it’s soon dispersed as the laugh of a friend echoes in between songs. It’s raw, it’s real and it’s full of heart.
