The Secret Beach is an ever-shifting group of musicians and co-conspirators orbiting around the songs and voice of Prairie-based songwriter Micah Erenberg. The band moniker – in the same vein as classic groups Guided By Voices, The Byrds, and Tame Impala – helpfully points out that a songwriter is not an island (or indeed, a beach) unto themselves, and the contributions from the involved parties go a long way in making this project what it is.
A retrospective view of life as a younger man, today’s single, "22", is a beautiful rendition of regret, as Erenberg infuses classic romantic tropes into a lamenting story about his relationship with the city of Winnipeg.
Erenberg calls the single, "A song about being young in a frozen, gentrifying shithole. Inspired by the infamous Simpsons’ 'Midnight RX' (season 16, episode 6), where a welcome to Winnipeg sign reads 'NOW ENTERING WINNIPEG. WE WERE BORN HERE, WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE?'"
"I’d like to dedicate this one to some of Manitoba’s finest street performers," He continues, "Eric the Great, Blue McLeod and Curtis Falk. Frequenters of the Osborne Village strip. The last time I walked through that spot at night, there was no soul to be found. The live music spots were closed, some canned music played out into the street. Eric, Blue and Curtis had moved on to better spots, I guess. I still love that town...yeah, it’s a shithole, but it’s our shithole."
Helmed by meandering 12-string guitar and the lonesome wails of pedal steel, the song's nostalgic qualities are only enhanced by the video that accompanies it, which features a series of snowy, archival footage from the Manitoba Department of Tourism and Recreation.
