The Secret Beach is the moniker used by Micah Erenberg whose refreshingly plainspoken candour has become a dominant through-line in the singer / songwriter’s ever-expanding catalogue. Whether releasing records under his own name or lending his talents as a producer, Erenberg exists in a constant whirlpool of creation.
Today, he shares “Last Time We Love”, a song about “love when it does that thing where it disappears before your very eyes,” says Erenberg. “Do you know that feeling? It takes you away from yourself, almost like an out-of-body experience. The present fades, the past and future become the focus. What will come afterwards? How will you heal? It is hard, but it is also amazing that our little brains go into healing mode so fast. How can we rise above?
I've felt that way before and when I did I found this song. If I remember correctly it was while I was sitting on the island at the bottom of the lake… Or maybe it was the kitchen island in that condo? But I think I finished it in that hotel room that I was stuck in for 5 days. I guess that was an island, too.”

MORE ABOUT THE SECRET BEACH
Since the release of his 2016 debut, Erenberg has toured extensively in support of his solo pursuits. Previously signed to the now defunct Canadian indie label Sleepless Records (Michael Rault, July Talk) for his well-regarded 2019 release Love Is Gonna Find You, Erenberg’s brand of unabashed lyrical honesty, and vulnerable talk-like delivery has earned admiration from audiences across North America and Europe.

Of his process, Erenberg states, "A lot of music inherently mimics other music. It’s just natural because there is so much music out there. It’s impossible not to be inspired and shaped by the music you hear, so I try to draw more of my inspiration from non-musical things; physical experiences, conversations, feelings, sensations, and inner reflections, in an attempt to achieve some form of genuine originality.”
