Today the Manitoba artist Secret Beach dropped the album called Songs From The Secret Beach via Victory Pool Records.
A nice indie folk pop album that reminds me of Chad VanGaalen without being whacky weird.
About the album:
Songs From The Secret Beach, finds beauty in the mundanity of daily life.
The wisdom of this record exists between the cracks. There is nuance that could easily be overlooked. However, Songs From The Secret Beach takes a courageous and uninhibited stab at honesty.
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.”
This exercise is clearly displayed on the track “God Is”, where Erenberg offers Lennon-esq narratives of the co-existence of god and man in raw glamor-less situations.
Similarly, on the title track, Erenberg delivers a juxtaposition between a blissfully playful arrangement, and a whimsically disguised commentary on the fragility of human existence. This is a common place practice for the singer-songwriter, who seamlessly manoeuvres between carefree melodicism and heavy subject matter.
