A Better Place – Light In The Sea EP

With Light In The Sea, A Better Place pull all the threads together. Across four tracks, the band proves why they’ve quickly become one of the most exciting new voices in indie rock.

From the drizzly intimacy of debut single It Rains, to the dreamlike haze of Don’t Mind, and the heartfelt punch of Someday—already spinning on Amazing Radio UK—the songs carry the DNA of ’80s/’90s alt-indie greats like Polvo, Dinosaur Jr., Unwound, Sebadoh, Teenage Fanclub, and The Posies, but with a freshness that’s entirely their own.

New track Remember When completes the story: a slow-burner that starts with gentle guitars and relaxed vocals, before erupting into a midtempo surge of energy. It’s nostalgic and forward-looking all at once, a reminder of why this band resonates so deeply.

Radio stations in the UK, the Netherlands, the US, and Belgium are already tuned in, and live, A Better Place is the kind of band that wins you over in one set flat.

Light In The Sea isn’t just an EP—it’s a statement. Indie rock, recharged and reimagined.

A Better Place - Remember When

You are like Gravity in my Soul when I love you

Gravity

This is a recording from the space between sender and receiver.
A letter never sent —
and yet read by a million hearts.

You Were There is Merlin MIRAGE’s transmission of gratitude, carried on the breath of techno.
A voice that walks slowly through the corridors of presence,
finding in every echo
a witness.

Time folds inward.
Words become footsteps.
Each beat says what language cannot.

This is a memory made of listeners.

You Were There (Vers. Merlin)

Thanks for checking out What If?, the fifth single from my upcoming album Underground Sky. The album will be released one song at a time throughout 2025. The video for this track will be out on YouTube on October 10th.

What If? is one of the most introspective and reflective tracks I’ve made. It sits somewhere between alt-pop and classic singer songwriting, opening with stark piano chords and vocals before unfolding into layered acoustic guitars, intimate strings, pedal steel, jangling riffs, and cascading harmonies. It’s about questioning choices, imagining alternate paths, and confronting those quiet “what if” moments that linger in your mind.

Every part of this recording was done independently in my home studio. No label, no filters, no one else’s fingerprints.

Ive been keeping to myself 
Thinking that, you’d come around 
I’ve been lying to myself 
Hoping that what we had was real 
& it dawned on me maybe 
You never wanted to know me? 
You would fall in me baby 
Whenever we’re feeling lonely 

& it’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
& now I’m coming down 
From the high of us 
It’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
& now I’m coming down 
From the high of us 


Drink so much we drown 
Was I looking for them in unfamiliar faces? 
In his voice i thought i heard your sound 
Wonder if you’ve fallen for another ones graces? 
In the darkness lately 
I imagine your arms around me 
When the dawn breaks baby - you’re no where to be found 

it’s in my head 
It’s not fair 
now I’m coming down 
Off the high of us 
It’s in my head 
It’s not fair

come down
