-'''''Secret Square''''' is the eponymous album by [[Secret Square]]. A lo-fi affair with songs written by [[Hilarie Sidney]] and [[Lisa Janssen]], it consists of seven original songs and four demos. The release went largely unnoticed. Sidney herself states "not a lot of people have" heard it.[http://www.e6townhall.com/viewthread.php?tid=1537] Those who have heard it critically, however, did not give the album positive feedback, as the album receives 1.5 stars out of five at [[All Music Guide]], noting that "there's a fine line between 'artless' and 'incompetent,' and sadly, parts of ''Secret Square'' fall on the wrong side."[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:0ddsa9ygi238] Nonetheless, the album and and the [[Secret Square (single)|previously released single]] remain cult collector's items among [[Elephant 6]] fans.
